Jen, it is standard practice for an ActionForm to contain only string properties. The reason is if validation fails, you want to return the text as-is as it was inputted. Once you have successfuly validated the ActionForm, then copy your form properties into your model object.

The request.getParameter(); always return a String. I can use the copyProperties() method of the BeanUtils to convert all the String(s) read from the web page to proper Java "types" in my form bean. What do I do when the property type in my form bean does not match the data field type in my POJO bean? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
