Good Afternoon Mike- Tough to diagnose without seeing the service interface defined in your action e.g. public class HHSAction implements Preparable { private HHSService service; }
package quickstart.service; import java.util.List; import quickstart.model.Person; public interface HHSService { public List<Person> findAll(); public void save(Person person); public Person find(int id); } ?

Hello All, I am having a problem with Struts 2 form submission, because I believe a related <s:select> field is not being converted correctly. I have read the documentation at: http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/select.html and http://struts.apache.org/2.0.11.1/docs/type-conversion.html It is my understanding that I should not need to provide any custom converter, that this conversion should be automatic. When I submit the form, I receive the error: Invalid field value for field "status". Here is the setup: I have a form with a <s:select> field: <s:select key="form.status" name="status" list="statusList" listKey="id" listValue="description"/> The action has the method: public List<Status> getStatusList(){ return statusService.findAll(); } The model object that status is mapped to looks like this: @Entity @Table(name="STATUS") @Validation public class Status implements Identifiable, Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = -8017026685032314796L; private Integer id; private String description; @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO) @Column(name = "ID", unique = true, nullable= false) public Integer getId() { return id; } public void setId(Integer id){ this.id= id; } @Column(name="DESCRIPTION", nullable= false) public String getDescription() { return description; } @RequiredStringValidator(message="Validation Error", key="validate.notEmpty", trim=true) public void setDescription(String description) { this.description = description; } I tried creating a mapping properties file called actionName-conversion.properties: KeyProperty_StatusList=id Element_StatusList=Status CreateIfNull_statusList=true No avail. I'm sure my problem is obvious, but I can't see it. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated... Thanks in advance!
