http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14706 multiple setters Summary: multiple setters Product: Struts Version: 1.0.2 Final Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Controller AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I prefer having the option to set a value with multiple setters, hiding the actual datatype within the class. This is one of the cardinal principals of Object Oriented Programming, Polymorphism. Struts ActionForm and the bean taglib fail when there are multiple setters. I get the error, package_name.html.BEAN. My preferrd method of polymorphism, hiding the datatype within the class: public class Foo { String var; public Foo(int v) {} public Foo(String v) {} public void setVar(String v) {} public void setVar(int v) {} } Moving data in and out of a JSP, you will always have a String. Through reflection you will find the setter methods that corresponds to the value in the JSP. If there is one that uses a string, use it, otherwise look for one you can convert your string to. If I've overlooked something in the functionality of Struts and this actually works, I'll be delighted. If not, please consider allowing polymorphism in the names of the setters. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
