It does work for me. I use a setter method with an integer argument in my
FormBean and FormBean invokes that method to change the data.
Thanks,
Uday.

Subject: Form population
I've been having a dig around, and have found that the BeanUtils.populate
doesn't really
handle very many datatypes. Or more specifically, I can't get it to set an
integer value,
where my bean has
public void setKey(int key);
or
public void setKey(Integer key);
neither get called. What I am finding is the BeanUtils only finds String
values when it
process the results of the form, and so thinks all the setter methods are
Strings
as well. There doesn't seem anyway to force the <html:text/> tag to be an
Integer
value. I can understand why the first won't work (non-object type), but not
the second.
Any suggestions, or this is a feature/bug?
