There is a fair bit of support in commons-beanutils for this sort of thing.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/beanutils/api/
Take a look at BeanUtils.copyProperties() to start with at that sounds closest to your needs.
(btw: Struts also makes use of BeanUtils for form population so the jar file will already be in your app).

Hi All,
In our application we are keeping all the values as string in actionform but in value object we are using specific data type. Now we are looking for an option which can populate the VO from ActionForm without the developer having to populate for each of the fields. It should also perform necessary type conversion also like from string to date, string to double etc.
Regards,
KP
