I find it's better to use Strings for ActionForm attributes, which can then be validated, and copied to correctly typed attributes in DTO beans once validation has passed. This would allow you to hold your null value, as this would be an empty string.

After that, i would like the variable to retain the value which the user has entered. -isaac --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For more information about Barclays Capital, please visit our web site at http://www.barcap.com.
