Assume a form has a field like so Age: [ ]
The user decided he/she is too bashful (or maybe just too old) to fill in the form and bypasses it, which we allow because people are wierd like that (by the way I am 25 and proud to be whatever age I am, but I am broke as a bank that just got robbed) moving on...now all fields are deemed to be type java.lang.String so the form posts this as "" (the empty string object). Now, assume my database has a field type int(3) NULL Naturally, I would want to enter NULL for this user since no one browsing the web can be of age 0. How could I get the form-bean to treat an optional field as NULL if it is empty so that the database gets the correct value? Or, do I just have to do this manually? Dan p.s. Sorry for all the questions but Struts rocks and I just want to make it work for what I need since these issues are only petty. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Daniel Allen, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mojavelinux.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Personally, I'm not finding Windows to be less expensive to administer, but those security holes--that'll kill 'em," -- Al Gillen, IDC - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
