Lukasz Lenart commented on WW-3871: ----------------------------------- Could you prepare an example, Maven based? I've tested with your code snippet and everything works, you don't have to specify @TypeConversion at all, by default Struts2 will convert and create List and User without any additional code. ConversionRules should be removed, but thus can be done with new major version -> 3.x > TypeConversion annotation support improvement > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: WW-3871 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WW-3871 > Project: Struts 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Plugin - Convention > Affects Versions: 2.3.4.1 > Reporter: Pavan Ananth > Fix For: 2.3.9 > > > The annotation support for TypeConversion in Struts 2 is too literal an > interpretation of the XML support. For instance, I am required to supply this > if I have choose the CreateIfNull feature at a property level : > @TypeConversion(key="CreateIfNull_users", rule=ConversionRule.CreateIfNull, > value="true") > List<User> users; > Given that the rule is CreateIfNull, the key can be constructed implicitly > using property name - why is it asked of an user to type in the full key. > This holds good for the other supported ConversionRules as well -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
