What is happening with the type conversion
functionality? I need to be able to override the conversion both to and
from string easily. xwork-conversion.properties only allows me to
specify one way.
If you specify a converter for the one direction and it is
trying to convert from your type TO a String, it will also try to use
that same converter (so make them
bidirectional)
Is there any plans to allow you to
configure a converter seperatly for each property? For example, I have
several dates which appear on a page in different formats. It would be
great to be able to specify in xwork.xml the format to be used for each
property. Or would this be best handled in a tag lib (to presentation
specific)?
This can be done now. You would have
a MyAction-conversion.properties which specifies the conversions for this
specific class (by field name). I'm not sure if Pat has fully documented
this?
Maybe if the PropertyTag had a format attribute
which was somehow passed to the TypeConverter...
<ww:property value="startDate" format="dd MMM
yyyy"/>
...or something like that.

Also on the type conversion front... I checked in yesterday a
change to make type conversion problems add field errors to your Action... let
me know if it's working for you.
