// Check and see if the pin number is missing if(pinNumber == null || pinNumber.length() == 0) { String pinNumberLabel = resources.getMessage( "label.pinnumber" ); // Create an error message for the missing pingNumber value ActionError newError = new ActionError("global.error.login.requiredfield", "Pin Number"); errors.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR, newError); } // Return the ActionErrors, in any. return errors; On page 22 of chapter 3 of the preview book. What is the `pinNumberLabel' all about? I think the chapter 3 is very big. There is lot to take in. ValueObject side bar could be reserved for a latter chapter. Also I think for JSP side of thing. How does the Page designer or person who has to rigourous follow an e-style guide look and feel get into the picture? Hints and tips for using Struts could be helpful. Web architecture diagram. May be a UML diagram might help here. -- Peter Pilgrim ++44 (0)207-545-9923 ............................................

The "initial" value is really designed to be a primitive or one of the wrappers around it. The ConvertUtils "convert" method is used and it's not really capable of doing what you want it to do. I think you might take a look at extending the FormPropertyConfig class, rather than the DynaActionForm. The DynaActionForm uses a Map already and should be capable of dealing with Objects. It's the initialization portion of the process that you need to override and I believe that starts in the FormPropertyConfig class.
