good point, but where do I register my custom converters? I dont want to do
it in my action classes, and writing a plugin just to register my converters
would be a big overhead.
Writing a plugin is quite easy and takes not more than 10 minutes. So
don't affraid and try it :-) , if you'd like I can share some code here.
I have only one plugin which I use only for this purpose - to init some
special libraries like BeanUitils converter, Hibernate Session Factory etc.
It's very usefull, becuase I don't like the usual practice to make
inizializations in static scope of the clases (because the sequence of
these static initializations can vary run time)
Why cant we have declative registration through struts-config.xml, just like
other components and struts should take care of registering my converters
with ConvertUtil? (If its not already done yet!)
This would actually give me flexibility to have my custom types as well in
the form bean.
Lets say, for some application I want all java.util.Long types to be
appended with "$" symbol, it becomes much easier with a converter.
what do you say?
this is good point, as I saw Craig McClanahan also likes the idea ...
probably the development team will embrace it.
