Jolly, you answered it yourself: "I dont want to write another actionForm class that represent my DTO...I am in great trouble."
This isn't Struts causing you the problem. It's the JSP spec. The automatic type conversion it does for you, will cause "null integers" to be sent into your DTO as 0. So yes, if you cannot be bothered to create another bean form class, then there is no solution. Not one that uses JSP's anyway. I do feel your pain though. It seems on many levels, just plain silly to have to declare objects almost but not completely like the ones you already have (complete with the risk of accidental typos) just to satisfy the web tier. My suggestion: Find a tool that helps you define your form bean getter and setters, or do what I do: Use DynaBeans. I'm doing some reasonably complex validation and nesting with DynaBeans in forms. In fact, I have a "GenericListForm" DynaBean which just contains a List property. I can use this form on any JSP that shows a list of objects. For me, those list objects are dynabeans themselves. My goal is to never have to write a getter or setter in a form bean ever again.
