I'm not sure if I completely understand what exactly you are trying to do, but on the Bean, why not just have something like this: public void setUserInput(Long num){ this.userInput = num * 2L; } If this does not help, please give more information. - Sean

How does the framework do this? Is there a way to tweak the way it populates the the beans? For example if a user sends a number and I, for a strange reason would like to pupulate the bean with twice that number, how could I do it on this level?
