Hi Anand,
Can you post an example of a Form Bean source code which supports all
the primitive types that you mentioned. The reason i asked this is...i want
to know if in the setter/getter methods i have to do the appropriate
conversions or not. Thanks.
cheers,
Amar..

Subject: Re: ActionForm question (repost)
Hi Bryan
I have used both primitive data types like int, float, boolean and
String objects in the ActionForm class..
It has been working fine.. Meaning that a text filed which is filled
with a numeric value populates the primitive setter method
appropriatly.. The same happens in the case of a String too..
However a blank field will be set as a "" and not a null..
U will have expicitly perform this check (if u need so) in the setter or
the Action class.
Hope this helps
Anand
