Hi Rick,
That's why I include the horrible if statement in StringConverterDateDecorator. if (type==String.class && value.getClass()==Date.class) { /* do conversion */ } else { /* stringConverter is an instance of the org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.StringConverter */ returnValue = stringConverter.convert(type, value); } When the target type is String and passed value is Date, we do the conversion. Otherwise, I call the default StringConverter. I test it here, using BeanUtils.copyProperties, and runs ok, however the design is horrible :) Cheers Elder -----Mensagem original----- De: Rick Reumann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Enviada em: quarta-feira, 16 de outubro de 2002 19:36 Para: Elderclei R Reami Cc: Struts List Assunto: Re: RES: Re[4]: BeanUtils and java.util.Date On Wednesday, October 16, 2002, 5:54:50 PM, Elderclei wrote: ERR> Here is the horrible piece of code for the converters: Hi. I can get a nice Date converter to work but how can you use BeanUtils to go the other way -converting your business bean java.util.Date to a String in your form bean? When I register the String converter (like you Elderclei created) it will end up obviously trying to convert all my Strings. -- Rick mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
