RE: html:text vs html:hidden

[Silvia Yeh]

Similar question. Is there good recommendation to handle html:text when the property attribute of a bean whose property is type "Timestamp"? Thanx.

Subject: html:text vs html:hidden

The html:text tag documenation says that the property attribute must be the name of a bean property of type String but it seems to work with other types because I have a form field that maps to a property of type double. The html:hidden tag does seem to enforce the String only rule. I wasn't able to reference a bean property of type Long. Am I missing something?

 

From html:text

property

Name of this input field, and the name of the corresponding bean property if value is not specified. The corresponding bean property (if any) must be of type String. [Required] [RT Expr]

 

 

Thanks, Hal
