Re: Overwrite a TypeConverter for a Map with Generics
Hello, how can i overwrite a TypeConverter for a Map? I defined the following global TypeConverter: java.lang.String=de..converter.StringTrimConverter (the converter removes blanks from the string) This converter is used for every String, even inside maps. That's fine. In one action i use the following map: MapString, String textfield = ... How can i use the default/another String converter for this property? Using a properties file for the action doesn't work. The Entry Element_textfield is not used because i use Generics. Thanks Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@struts.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@struts.apache.org You can annotate the setter for that field, e.g.: @TypeConversion(converter = my.package.TextfieldConverter) public void setTextfield(MapString, String textfield) and of course you have to implement your own converter: public class TextfieldConverter extends StrutsTypeConverter regards, Christoph This Email was scanned by Sophos Anti Virus

Hello, thanks for your answer. Have you tried your solution and got it working? I already tried that before, but it always picked up the global converter de..converter.StringTrimConverter. But maybe i did something wrong. I tried it with @TypeConversion(rule = ConversionRule.MAP, converter = de.converter...) (with annotations and also with a class- specific conversion-properties file). If a specify a class name that does not exists, i get an exception. But if i use a class that exists, that class is not used for conversion. I tried to debug DefaultObjectTypeDeterminer: it's looking for an @Element annotation. The class-specific properties file (Element_textfield) will only be used if i don't use generics. Or do i need to implement a Map-Converter instead of a String-Converter? Thanks Andreas Well, I did not use it for collection types. So you can try with a MapConverter. And I think those converters are used for saving only, not for rendering html. Try to annotate the getter, too. Regards, Christoph This Email was scanned by Sophos Anti Virus
