Then you'll have to have code to convert between the two. If you're using Formdef, you can put this logic in Converter and associate that converter with the field in the form you're using. If not, you'll have to handle this within your Action when you prepopulate your outgoing form or parse the incoming form.

Thanks for the quick response. The field in the db is to be stored stripped of formatting. However, the display and entry of the field should include the formatting. -----Original Message----- From: Hubert Rabago [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 11:21 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Struts/FormDef formatting question Your form field will come in as String. If you'll be storing the data as string as well, maybe you don't need any more conversion between the two.

I have a situation that is very similar to this but I'm not sure how to go about writing it. The existing table has numeric phone fields which will not be changed, and will have two new phone fields added which are varchar2(14). In the case of a converter, I could see writing one for the Numeric since I could say that the converter is going from Number to String. However, what about where the db field is String already? I'm trying to use iBATIS for the db layer. > If this is the incorrect place to ask this question, can you point me to the correct one? > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
