Yeap, that's what I'd do. Hubert

The problem I'm having with it is how to use the converter when the DB type is java.lang.String, and the conversion target type (for the form) will be java.lang.String? Apologies on this -- I didn't notice the source and destination types. Even if they are the same data types, I can at least see if the destination type is a subclass of Actionform and format accordingly.

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.

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] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
