[Struts 1.3] converter converts but not set property

[senderj]

I wrote a converter to convert a enum for BeanUtils.copyProperties().  I have
this in my struts config:

<form-bean name="MyForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
   <form-property name="warType" type="java.lang.String"/>

Here is my converters (embedded class in my Action)

    public class MyConverter1 implements Converter {
        @Override
        public WarrType convert(Class c, Object s) {
            Object result = null;
            String ss = (String) s;
            if (c.getSimpleName().equals("WarrType")) {
                System.out.println(ss);
                if (ss.equals("NONE")) result = WarrType.NONE;
                if (ss.equals("CALL"))  result = WarrType.CALL;
                if (ss.equals("PUT")) result = WarrType.PUT;
            }
            return (WarrType) result;
        }
    }

and here is the code in my Action:

        MyConverter1 mc1 = new MyConverter1();
        ConvertUtils.register(mc1, WarrType.class);
        BeanUtils.copyProperties(stk, form);

I've ensured both Stk and form have the same name "warType". But the
copyProperties() takes care of all other properties, except the warType! I
have another converter for a date properties coded in similar way and it
works. Only this warType doesn't. I have checked the convert() method in
MyConverter in debug mode and it can convert correctly. But the stk.warType
was not set (although its setWarType() was run with correct parm and
output).

But if I add this code after the copyProperties() at the above, then it
works
        BeanUtils.copyProperty(stk, "warType",
PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(form, "warType"));

Any idea why?
