Newbie to struts with a question on text fields

[Nandita Rajagopalan]

Hi,

I have a textbox which is supposed to hold a numeric value - ie the property 
corresponds to a numeric datatype in the Action form. If I leave this textbox empty , 
I want my validate method to catch it and print an error as this field is a required 
field. However, when I leave this text empty, a value of  0 gets placed in the 
property's value . 0 is an allowed value and hence no error gets dumped. How do I get 
around this problem ?

Thanks.

Not sure if you are using a form bean or a dynaactionform.  But, specify a
String type field and then validate the string and convert to numeric.
