Hello, It seems to us that there is a serious flaw in the struts validation - in the RequestUtil class, the BeanUtils.populate method is called. In our testing, this allows an erroneous value to be replaced with a default value - for example a form class which will set a Short, and the form value entered is text, this will result in a value of 0. This all happens when the form bean is populated, before the server side validate() is called, or anything else can be intercepted. No exception occurs, so no errors can be generated. I was wondering if there is any idea about using something other than populate() - or making sure that the BeanUtils Converters do not use the constructors which make them enter default values....
has anyone else had this problem, it seems to mean struts is only good for String inputs, otherwise any type conversion is not assured? Am I missing something, is there a parameter somewhere to tell struts to do typesafe conversions?
