I don't understand. I thought the Validation framework would check for Integer in an Integer field, then return the appropriate message.
-----Original Message----- From: Ian Hunter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 4:41 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: action form Q Don't do that. Make all your form fields strings, use the validator plug in, and convert from String to other type in your Action class. One good reason to do this is that if the user were to type "ouch" in an Integer field, it would be impossible to even tell them that "ouch" wasn't a valid value because there is nowhere to store the string "ouch" -- you'd have to say "whatever you typed is invalid" whereas with strings and validator you have all the flexibility in the world.
