I don't know if this is possible without writing some code, like a request processor; hopefully somebody else knows more. The issue is that a text field on a form returns an empty string, not null: that's an HTTP thing, not Struts specifically. You could also configure Hibernate data types that convert an empty string in to null and handle the problem on the Hibernate side; if you're using the Hibernate code anywhere else it might be more useful to do it that way, but it's borderline magic and might be confusing down the road.
