I'm afraid this is not completely possible. I can a have a getter which returns a Date and have the datetime tag take care of the conversion to string; but when I select a date in a select field of the html form, what comes back it's always a string: Struts searches for a setter which takes a string and I get a TypeMismatch. I think form classes must deal with strings, as Yee said. This still forces me to convert them back to a Date when I need them in my business logic; and in this case taglibs do not help. Anyway, I hope I'm wrong... > I believe > Taglibs is connected to a JSR asking for a standard jsp tag library, so > there's a good chance the tags will be supported and stay around. > Hope it is of some help Sure it is.
