Well, that's straight forward: When you press submit the browser only sends the string representation of the object to the server. As, I'm pretty sure, you don't have any type conversion of the value set in the select box to the type of your property in the action, which should be setA(Athy). You now have some options: a) Check out how type conversion works within struts2/xwork [1] and write an appropriate type converter. This options is only viable from my point of view when Arty is just a simple class and no entity. I think reading entities from the database or taking similar actions in a type converter is no good practice, but I might be wrong here. b) Intercept the action invocation on the way and create/inject the object from the interceptor into the action, maybe with some annotation or interface on the action class which marks for the interceptor to take action on this invocation. c) Set the String parameter which was selected into the action (by providing an appropriate setter taking a String) and do the work of converting the action there. I usually discourage from this, as conversion code does IMO not belong to the action.
