Bug #17156 Validate Integer?

[David Graham]

That bug states that validate required does not work with an ActionForm 
property with type java.lang.Integer.  Indeed, I tested this with the 
struts-validator webapp's type form and required doesn't seem to run for 
that field when I changed it from String to Integer.  What does happen is 
that a "0" shows up in the text box while the other fields remain blank and 
their required error messages are displayed.

Is this simply a usage limitation of the validator?  One more reason to use 
Strings for all ActionForm properties?  I'm guessing that 0 shows up because 
that's the default value for an Integer object when it's created.  I don't 
know enough about this to close the bug as INVALID or fix it.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Dave
