>I hope someone can show me a better way of doing this. > > I have an input page in which the user enters a date. Of course, the > user really enters strings for month, day, and year. > > My ActionForm has string fields dateOfBirthYear, dateOfBirthMonth, and > DateOfBirthDay. > > It is my understanding that everything in a S1.3.5 ActionForm must be a > string...correct? > > My "business bean" has a corresponding Date field called dateOfBirth. > > I'm wondering if there is a better way to convert this data. I added a > field to the ActionForm called dateOfBirth (to match the field in the > business bean). > In the action, I call a method on the ActionForm called > "convertFromStrings" that combines the three strings into a Java Date > object and stores in into dateOfBirth. > I then use BeanUtils.copyProperties(businessBean, actionForm) > > Of course, I need to do all this in reverse if I want to present an edit > form. > > I think this rules out using a DynaActionForm ? > > This must be a common issue, is there a better technique? > > Finally, how many of these problems go away if I migrate to S2? > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
