I have a form that has one attribute - an instance of a value object. The object has multiple attributes that make up the form elements. These attributes are not all Strings and therefore ConvertUtils converts them to Strings for display on the jsp. When posting the html form, ConvertUtils attempts to convert the input Strings back to the proper object Types. If the input string is not in the .toString() format of the object, then an conversion exception is thrown.
Does this mean that I would need to have all input attributes of type String? That is, unless I modify ConvertUtils to accept multiple string formats for my objects. What is the standard practice for creating form attributes that are not Strings (i.e. Timestamp), populating them, and validating them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the validator assumes a String attribute for validation. Thanks in advance, P. --------------------------------- Do You Yahoo!?
