for that, i use the javascript validation, so this case never happens. And the formBeans containing Integer and Date objects are perfect as parameters for business-methods. for example: form_bean_xxx contains teacher : fb_teacher fb_teacher contains name birthdate : DateWrapper you can give form_bean.teacher to a session bean method. so you need not much parameters and no separate simpletypes greetings, Andreas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
