All properties on an ActionForm should be declared as Strings for this very reason.
After you have confirmed that only numerals were entered into the field, THEN you can convert it to a business object that uses a binary type, like int. The ActionForm is a buffer for whatever people enter into the form. It is not a business object that you would use to represent the state of your application or use as part of business logic processing. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US -- Developing Java Web Applications with Struts -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services "Jivan, Rajiv" wrote: > > I have a jsp which has an input field in which the user is supposed to enter only >integers. > The form bean has a field of type int which is displayed as the default in the input >field using <html:text ...> > When the user submits the form I want to validate the input field and make sure its >a number.
