http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31571 Handling exceptions during BeanUtils.populate() Summary: Handling exceptions during BeanUtils.populate() Product: Commons Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Bean Utilities AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, I know this has been asked already before but could there be a way to handle exceptions that occur during population? The populate() function could either return a map(property, exception), take that kind of map as argument or -even better- take a PopulateExceptionHandler as argument. The reason I would like to see this feature implemented is to allow struts to use this mechanism to convert parameters from the request to actionform's properties without *falling apart* when encountering one that is not well- formed. It would be nice too if we were not *forced* to use string-only properties for actionforms (which in fact is a way to circumvent this conversion problem). I would like my ActionForm or DynaActionForm declare strongly-typed properties (maybe custom classes), register proper Converters into ConvertUtils in the ActionServlet.initServlet() for example, and then maybe get back conversion errors from within my action (maybe the PopulateExceptionHandler could add some ActionErrors to the request). What do you think? I know this issue is tightly coupled to struts but well... ;-) Thanks a lot, Xavier --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
