I know, I know, never use anything but Strings in an ActionForm to be populated from the request. I guess this is the same old argument for that.
I recently thought it might be convenient to use a Boolean, and it worked fine, until I re-used the Form for a query jsp where this property was NOT represented by a checkbox (Of course, I had to change reset() to leave the property null instead of defaulting false when "mode=query" is in the request). BeanUtils.populate does clearly specify that it only handles setters for String, boolean, int, long, float, and double. Still, I was surprised to learn that when an empty string was submitted for this property in the request, my Boolean was set to false. m __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
