Murray,
Thanks for your reply. I know how to use other methods to handle it, such as
putting String property on form bean and convert it to date inside mybean. I
am asking whether it is possible for Struts to handle date conversion with
Locale automatically, then I can only configure a single entry form bean for
the action form, it can save a great deal of effort. Please compare the
following configuration style,
Do you configure your action form like this,
<form-bean name="myForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="iPod" type="com.mycompany.myproject.bean.MyBean"/>
</form-bean>
or like this,
<form-bean name="myForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="aaId" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="aaOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="product" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="productCategory" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="bbStatus" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="valueDate" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="valueDateOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="grossTotal" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="grossTotalOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="itemCount" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="itemCountOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="tab" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="ccId" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="ddId" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="id" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="idOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="bankId" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="bankIdOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="accountNumber" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="accountNumberOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="payeeName" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="payeeNameOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="amount" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="amountOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="amountType" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="status" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="eeDate" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="rrDateOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="grossTotalOperator" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="product" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>

Subject: Re: java.util.Date in Action Form Bean
Hi
I add additional getters and setters for handling dates and prices (and
other special
numeric formats). For example, in addition to the normal getter I code an
additional
one to retrieve the date as a string.
public Date getDateStart() {
return dateStart;
}
public String getDateStartAsString() {
if (dateStart == null) return "";
return Focus.date2String(dateStart);
}
I then code up some static methods to format dates to strings and similar
methods to
make the opposite translation (string back to date). For example, a
method from my
Focus class related to the above code:
public static String date2String(Date date) {
return sdf.format(date);
}
And if you're desparate, here is the sdf definition:
private static SimpleDateFormat sdf = new
SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
You can do the same thing with a Timestamp, depends how many fields you
want to
declare on your form and how much data entry you want your user to do. I
used a
similar method in my Focus class to get/set the date portion of the
timestamp value:
public static String timestamp2String(Timestamp ts) {
if (ts == null) return "";
return date2String(new Date(ts.getTime()));
}

Hello,
I am working on a project using Struts. Struts uses BeanUtil to populate
Action Form
Bean. This is such a nice framework to work with, except,
BeanUtil doesn't support java.util.Date conversion. But when I use
java.sql.Timestamp, it asks for the format of
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff
Here is the exception when I enter other format,
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Timestamp format must
be yyyy-
mm-dd hh:mm:ss.fffffffff
In a web application, it is not reasonable to ask user to input
yyyy-mm-dd
hh:mm:ss.fffffffff.
Also, it doesn't support Locale.
Do you have experience getting java.util.Date populated in a Java Bean
inside a
FormBean?
Thanks in advance.
