Are you talking about prepopulating the form? Yes, a FormUtils method helps with that. I don't know if that qualifies as manually populating the form, though. The FormUtils method does a lot of the manual work, such as matching form fields with their POJO field counterparts, considering the locale, converting and parsing data as needed, possibly handling nested beans/nested forms as well.

Hi, Thanks ! It is exactly what I need. I'm going to test it... Must I always populate manually all the forms (with FormUtils) ?

If you get the binary download, there's a sample app (locale.war) which demonstrates the form accepting dates (02/15/1999 vs. 15/02/1999) and numbers (40,000.50 vs. 40.000,50) formatted depending on the user's locale. > > Thanks a lot ! > Regards, > Zero - Hubert [1] https://formdef.dev.java.net/ --------------------- ALICE SECURITE ENFANTS --------------------- Protégez vos enfants des dangers d'Internet en installant Sécurité Enfants, le contrôle parental d'Alice. http://www.aliceadsl.fr/securitepc/default_copa.asp --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
