With a CheckboxList returning an array of strings, if this array has a length of 2 elements or more and the target class is not resolved in XWorkBasicConverter, a StackOverflow error is thrown. As a target class, you can take a TreeSet for instance.
The involved code from XWorkBasicConverter, you can see where is the error : if (result == null) { if (value instanceof String[]) { String[] array = (String[]) value; if ((array != null) && (array.length == 1)) { value = array[0]; } // let's try to convert the first element only result = this.convertValue(context, o, member, s, value, toType); } else { result = super.convertValue(context, value, toType); } } I'm also wondering if resolving the target class with the following equality : } else if (toType == Set.class) { result = doConvertToSet(context, value); is not a little bit optimist, Set.class.isAssignableFrom(toType) would be maybe more relax to deal with inherited class. Another remark, what do you think of dealing the arrays in a generic way ... and using the type converter for the value itself : String[] -> Date[] would build a Date array by applying for each value the right converter (String -> Date) Hope it can help. I really enjoy WebWork2, above all because I'm a former struts user.
