hi list,

I'm looking at the TimestampConverter.
as i understand the converters it works like this:
the convert method is called by struts:

public Object convert(final Class type, final Object value) {

When i look at the dateConverter i see the convert method.
and this method delegates its work to two sub methods:
    protected Object convertToDate(final Class<?> type, final Object
value, final String pattern);
     protected Object convertToString(final Object value);

The TimestampConverter extends the dateConverter. not implementing the
convert method it will use that one.
but here is my problem:
there are two methods one of them beeing:
    protected Object convertToDate(final Class<?> type, final Object value);
i would expect this method to overwrite the one from the date. wich it
will not.
so what is the use of this method?
and on close inspection i see that the DateConverter already takes care
of the Timestamp conversion...

my suggestsion is make the timestampConverter totaly empty. so its only
there so struts will pick it.
or extend teh dateConverter and overwrite the methods and remove all
teimstamp stuff.
