-----------------------------------

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.

> 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.
