Makes no sense to me. "String" is a class but "Date" is a Date? It > transates a setter into a getter?? What?
You have, from the point of view of Java introspection, a setter for a property that doesn't exist called Date, and a getter for a property of type Date. So... introspection is apprently expecting the return type of the getter and the parameter type of the setter to be the same. Which makes the advice given here http://husted.com/struts/tips/013.html by Ted Husted much more relevant. > > > In other words, it has two properties: "class" and "date". > > The "date" property is read-only and is accessed through the > > "getDate" method.

That's not relevant to what the introspection is seeing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
