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.

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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
