You can convert to and from string very easily. Just register a type converter for type Foo and that converter will be called for conversion from a string and conversion to a string.

You can also convert on individual fields:

MyAction-conversion.properties:
blah=com.blah.BlahConverter

That will be used for field blah in the class MyAction.

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.

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)?

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.

John.
