The Action class. Sometimes helper methods are built into the ActionForm to make this simplier.
For the native types, the BeanUtis properties and describe methods can be a quick and easy way to transform the properties. Other times, people will create transformation object that takes the form bean and disburses into several other beans required by their model. Occaisonally, the data bean will already have setters for taking input from Strings, as a RowSet can. This is an admittedly embarrassment of riches, but Struts is designed to plug into whatever you already have, or want to build. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US -- Developing Java Web Applications with Struts -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services Tom Brunner wrote: > > Hi all, > > >From what I understand all attributes of an ActionForm > need to be String type so they can be output to the > GUI via Struts html tags.
