There are converters that can be used for overriding. For example BigDecimalConverter is a converter that handles any object going to a BigDecimal.
you need to register the converters. Take a look at BeanUtils.deregister which is called in a static block at the beginning of BeanUtils. sandeep -----Original Message----- From: Sreenivasa Chadalavada [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 3:11 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully Do you know if the behavior can be overridden?

It should be done once per classloader. When struts populates the dyna form it is string array to string array conversion and uses populate method of BeanUtils which eventually calls the converters. sandeep -----Original Message----- From: Sreenivasa Chadalavada [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 2:47 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Handling Date objects in ActionForm gracefully I am thinking of overriding the struts default mechanism. Override the default behavior of org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConvertUtils by registering a valid converter... I want to know if the above is possible..
