I won't claim this is elegant, but you could change your get/setCountry
methods to use integers, and then create get/setCountryAsString methods
which do the appropriate conversions and call get/setCountry. At least this
wouldn't force you to do conversions in the bean's client code when you use
it outside a JSP.
