Hi. First of all: sorry if this request for feature is going to the wrong place.
Now then... Request for Feature: type attribute in <html:text> -------------------------------------------------- Often I find myself having private Integer myInt; public Integer getMyInt() {return myInt;} public void setMyInt(Integer myInt) { this.myInt = myInt; } in my ActionForm. The input for myInt comes from a JSP page using the <html:text> tag. But since <html:text> is using String as the data type I've to assign the value to private String myIntString; and do the conversion in validate(). It would be great if one could specify: <html:text property="myInt" type="java.lang.Integer"/> since Integer can take a String in the constructor. If a NumberFormatException is thrown a stack-trace is ok to present to the user IMO. Yes, I know that one should use the validate(ActionMapping mapping, ServletRequest request) for this kind of job -- but in simple cases this would be a great feature to have (and no I wouldn't use this feature in production; only for development). Comment ? (or am I totally off here?) Cheers, Jesper P.S.
