David Connard commented on WW-2367: ----------------------------------- Re: "Don Brown and has indicated this was fixed in some later version" - sorry, but I don't think this is the case. I have run into this issue on Struts 2.0.11, and have just spend half a day upgrading to Struts 2.1.2 in the hope that it might be fixed there.... with no luck. Yes, I ran into the issue in particular with a <s:select> tag. It appears that the toString() method of my DAO objects is being called instead of the convertToString() method of my StrutsTypeConvertor. If however I put the "current" DAO object into an <s:textfield>, I do go via the appropriate convertToString() method. Any idea when we can expect a fix...? This is an annoying issue - meaning we have to manually specify how to convert each set of <s:select> list data. > Custom StrutsTypeConverter's convertToString not called > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: WW-2367 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2367 > Project: Struts 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.0.11 > Reporter: Bob Tiernay > Assignee: Don Brown > Priority: Critical > Fix For: Future > > > It appears as though a class that is registered in > xwork-conversion.properties that extends StrutsTypeConverter will never have > it's convertToString method invoked as part of the normal ognl processing. > This is most evident in the case of a converter that is required in a > <s:select> tag. > An interesting thing to note is that XWorkConverter is being invoked rather > than StrutsTypeConverter. Also TextParseUtil.translateVariables appears to > not be able to find the correct converter in this context. > A few other users have also noticed this issue and have commented on it here: > http://www.nabble.com/Re:-TypeConverter-problems-p13545755s2369.html > http://www.nabble.com/Struts-2-Multi-Level-Type-Conversion-t4802911.html > http://www.nabble.com/-S2--Issue-with-Type-Conversion-and-Select-Boxes-t4864875.html > http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/7986658.html > http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.struts.user/148485 > http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.struts.user/148294 > http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.appfuse.user/28961 > http://www.roseindia.net/tutorialhelp/comment/25324 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
