I have attempted to use a type converter in the perscribed method, and indeed it does work when converting from String to an Object, but it doesn't get invoked when printing the result via ww:property.
Is this a common problem? Is there something I need to do to ensure the type conversion is applied both on read and write ?
Thanks

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.
