Thanks for the reply.. but the variables in the actionform's datatype will be string and DTO's will be corresponding oracle dataType. I am not able to understand the advantage of writing the interface. May be I am missing the concept. Actually my doubt is whether I can write type conversion codes in Action Class and pass the variables to DTO or should I write another class where datatype conversions are made. My understanding says we shouldn't write type conversion code in Action Class . Even if I use " BeanUtils.copyProperties" where should I place this code. Please help me.

Write an interface with all the methods in your actionform. Your DTO bean class and actionform class should implement the interface. Now you dont need to do any type casting in your action class. Sorry if my understanding is wrong. --Yoge On 7/13/07, Viplav Kallepu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi All, > > I am new to struts and I am using struts 1.3.8.
