Hi Craig I understand that you did not follow this thread from the beginning. As I mentioned before - when working with int, short, byte types - my app works fine. I don't get any runtime exception!
Is it crucial for the Action Form to have String properties?

If you like the result (a runtime exception), then by all means go ahead and make your action form properties be typed. Otherwise, if you're going to use Struts you should listen to all the tutorials and books and articles and mailing list messages that tell you to make your form bean properties be strings :-).
