Thanks guys for your reponses, but I think I may have been unclear in
my question. I have a class called MyCurrencyConverter that converts
a string to a BigDecimal by stripping the "$", commas, etc. - this
works fine. The problem arises when struts does not call
MyCurrencyConverter for the nested class "Contact -> ContactLead"
("Contact" class has a member variable "ContactLead" class all with
getters/setters).
For the code below, the first field converts just fine and I can track
this in my debugger. But for the second field, MyCurrencyConverter is
never called by Struts. I am wondering if this is a bug. I would
have thought Struts would be smart enough to map the nested
ContactLead class to the conversion.properties file.
JSP snippet:
<!-- First Field: Works fine, MyCurrencyConverter is called -->
<s:textfield key="contactLead.income"
value="%{getText('format.money',{contactLead.income != null ?
contactLead.income :''})}" />
<!-- Second Field: MyCurrencyConveter is never called for this textfield -->
<s:textfield key="contact.contactLead.income"
value="%{getText('format.money',{contact.contactLead.income != null ?
contact.contactLead.income :''})}" />
ContactCreateAction-conversion.properties:
contactLead.income=com.afs.web.converter.MyCurrencyConverter
contact.contactLead.income=com.afs.web.converter.MyCurrencyConverter
Thanks,
Burton
