I'd have to look around to see where you could get an off-the-shelf BigDecimal Converter, but one option you always have is writing a small adapter layer. You can't change the underlying business object, but you *can* write a bean that wraps up the business object and presents a long instead of a bigdecimal. A proper converter is a better option, though, since you won't run a risk of exceeding legal values.
I'm not sure where you got converter="BigDecimalConverter" from... you do have to pick something that really is the ID of a converter. -- Adam On 1/3/07, Anshuman Abhishek Roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
