You're going to need a type converter which can convert from a String to a Location object... Location could possibly be implemented usnig the PersistentEnum pattern in Hibernate, otherwise you'll have to either:
A) do a lookup to the database to load the Location object for the city (you seem to be passing the city as the value) B) Maybe your locations collection already has all of the Location objects and you can just look one up there to set So after you implement your custom converter, you can look at http://wiki.opensymphony.com/space/Type+Conversion for how type conversion per-Action can be handled. You can also create a file named xwork-conversion.properties in the root of your classpath with registrations for default type conversion types.
