Hi, looking for best practice to use <s:select /> for nested objects.
My application uses a lot of lookup objects for countries, currencies etc. loaded from database on startup. They have id and description with getters but no setters. Input masks use these lookup objects in select lists, e.g. <s:select id="foo" name="person.country.id" list="countries" listKey="id" listValue="description" headerKey="-1" headerValue=" --- Please select country --- " cssStyle="width:300px;" /> Class person: Long id, String name, Country country That works fine when entering the mask and displaying the data. But when saving the data, Struts error: no setId() for country. Setting name="person.country" and listKey="this" -> problem the other way around: No match when entering the mask with existing data, after selecting a country and saving, person has the proper country. I tried https://struts.apache.org/core-developers/type-conversion but XWorkConverter does not use my converter. Debugging Struts, I see that XWorkConverter.buildConverterMapping decides to ignore my lookup class by converterHolder.addNoMapping(clazz) It looks to me that // check for conversion mapping associated with super classes and any implemented interfaces Class curClazz = clazz; while (!curClazz.equals(Object.class)) { // add current class' mappings addConverterMapping(mapping, curClazz); clazz is my lookup class but curClazz is java.lang.object. I would appreciate to get some advice how to handle my problem.
