I believe, the point at which commons converters are implemented in Struts won't help you here, judging by the way you're passing data to the view.
But if all you're trying to do is format the string into a date and you have to stick with the DTO directly to view approach, you could try a combination of the Struts TextTag and the JSTL formatting tags? Format the data in the JSP with the JStL formatting tag, then pass this new value to the TextTag? Another option is to format it in the action, and pass it thru an actionform (as previously described) -----Original Message----- From: Hubert Rabago [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 2:27 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: html:text and converter Yes, that last msg wasn't much help. Maybe if you provide a bigger picture of the situation, other folks can give you alternatives. Or at least help convince you of the advantages to using AFs. --- Hubert Rabago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Perhaps it's time to consider using AFs. :) > > > --- Giovani Salvador <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The problem is that i am not showing the data with the action form.
