I agree -- direct support for Timestamp is not necessary, but using the inheritance would be very useful. Probably a post 2.0 feature though. File a ubg.

A nice feature would be to convert values with a converter inheritance model. To convert java.sql.date -> String, XWorkConverter looks up a java.sql.date converter, and if it is not present, XWorkConverter could try to load a java.util.date converter, and so on... It could minimize the entries in xwork-conversion.properties. Another interest would be to implement generic converters for entities ( a single line in xwork-conversion.properties to convert a base entity or an interface) ...

That would be cool. I don't have much control over what the JDBC driver returns as an implementation of Date, but I would think that Timestamp would be pretty common. This is on Oracle 9i, by the way, if it matters. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Carreira Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 5:47 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [OS-webwork] Converters not used on property get? It's probably because it's a timestamp, and not a Date. While a timestamp "is a" date, the type conversion is using the class name for looking up converters. We could add this to the XworkBasicConverter and have it treat it the same as a date?
