There shouldn't be that much magic.

resources.groovy

beans = {
    customPropertyEditorRegistrar(CustomPropertyEditorRegistrar)
}

src/groovy/{yourpackage}/CustomPropertyEditorRegistrar.groovy

class CustomPropertyEditorRegistrar implements PropertyEditorRegistrar {
    @Override
    void registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry registry) {
        // Always set the nullable to true and handle not nullable fields through constraints
        registry.registerCustomEditor(Date.class, new CustomDateEditor(new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy"), true));
    }
}
