Re: Struts can not accept a date field if it is blank

[Matthew Van Horn]

What I do is make the form field be a string, and then just add another  
accessor method like:
java.util.Date getMyFieldAsDate(String format) {
	String dateString = this.MyField;
	//parse the string to a date and return
}
I don't know if this is 'correct', but it works for me.

Is there not any other ways?
Because I want to use a single class to act as formbean and value  
object :-)

However, thank you very much.

Use java.lang.String instead of java.sql.Date in your FormBeans
