Hi Patrick,

I was using an early release of WW2. I upgraded to beta 2 and the type
conversion worked. Did you say there was a final release? The most
recent one I saw on java.net was the beta 2 of both webwork and xwork.

I still haven't gotten the advanced type conversion to work. I looked
through the code and could not find anything that handled
conversion.properties file containing something to the effect of:

Collection_row = java.util.HashMap.

Or actually something that parsed the form element names such as:

name="row[i]{'test'}"

If I am missing something let me know. Or point me to the correct place
in the code where this might be happening.

At the moment I'm in a bit of a hurry with our current application, so
as temporary work around, I wrote a BaseAction which implemented the
ParametersAware interface, and parsed the elements in the setter. If I
find the time, I hope to convert it to a generic interceptor.

I would also like to take this time to thank the developers of WW for a
great product. It is simple, reliable, easily extensible and very
powerful, which is the essence of any solid architecture. We have been
using it to churn out production web applicatations since the ServerSide
Symposium last summer with great success. I have also written two
interceptors since then with great ease. The only suggestion I have is
to improve upon the documentation. With specifically more concrete
examples, and a complete list of features. I always stumble accross a
new feature and then I wonder what else I could be missing, or if I have
written something which is already supported by the framework (Although
I don't really mind writing it :)). Anyway, keep up the good work!

thanks,

Alex.

Alex,
Everything looks fine to me. What locale are you using? I'd recommend
that you take a look at the source code and step through
XWorkBasicConverter. Also, 1.0 final is out, but I don't imagine that
would be causing any trouble.

Patrick
