http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34766 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-05-06 02:58 ------- I think you're right that the javadoc does not match the code (my mistake; I wrote that piece of javadoc!). However the current behaviour (nulls get passed through ConvertUtils) is deliberate, and can't be changed. I will correct the javadoc. To address your issue, one option is to register custom ConvertUtils converters that leave nulls unchanged. This way, digester calls ConvertUtils.convert, but a null just comes straight back. See the BeanUtils library, method ConvertUtils.register for more details. Note that setting a converter on ConvertUtils changes global behaviour for the whole JVM (ConvertUtils is a Singleton) so if you are using any other libs that use ConvertUtils you may need to think carefully about the implications of doing this. The other option would be to add a flag to the CallMethodRule class to indicate whether it should use the current behaviour or leave nulls alone. If you wish to provide a patch for this (and unit tests) I would be happy to review and commit it. Or I might get around to implementing this sometime (it seems a worthy request) but I can't give you any particular date this might be done by. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
