why not just return a boolean??? the .toString() representation of a boolean
is the strings "true or "false"
Works for me...

Emne: Re: Trouble setting properties of an ActionForm bean
As far as I know, the value passed into the setter method must match the
value returned by the getter method. It will not work otherwise.
Could you return 'true' or 'false' as a String? If you are setting a value
of a field, it should work.
