> Hi,
> So I'm trying to understand a little bit better the way type conversion is
> supposed to work in struts 2/Xwork 2 and I really don't get it. The part I am
> missing is when is that conversion applied, and on what basis?
> My use case is an action that must present a select box containing dates. So
> hoping to have struts 2 do all the heavy lifting, I create my action with a
> field
> private List<Date> theDates;
> fills it with the right date and render it on the JSP :
> <s:select list="theDates" name="theDate" />
> I have a field on my action to receive this date parameter :
> private Date theDate;
> The problem is that the generated HTML content is :
> <select name="theDate" id="index_theDate">
> <option value="Mon Jul 13 15:01:21 EDT 2009">7/13/09</option>
> <option value="Sun Jul 12 15:01:21 EDT 2009">7/12/09</option>
> </select>
> What I don't get is that the body of the option has been correctly converted,
> while the value is not at all converted (that looks like a simple toString to
> me). So of course, the conversion from the toString version of the date to a
> date object is failing.
> Now I don't get what I did wrong there, and how this is supposed to work.
> Definitely this looks wrong to me, cause the value is the most important
> thing in the option. But I couldn't find a way of getting that converted.
> Any advise?
> Thanks for any help.
