Didn't get anywhere...probably just don't know what I am doing... -----Original Message----- From: Mike Ash [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 5:28 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Lost in beans
Thanks, at least your home, I'm still here ;(, I am going to try and implement this, I'll let you know what happens. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Meyer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 05, 2003 5:16 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Lost in beans I was thinking about this more on my way home from work.. :) As far as doing it as a hack I would simply implement and register the converter as anonymous class. <form-bean name="NestedTestForm" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm"> <form-property name="value" type="java.lang.String" /> </form-bean> <form-bean name="TestForm" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm" > <form-property name="nested" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm" initial="NestedTestForm"/> </form-bean> Then in your initServlet()... import org.apache.commons.beanutils.ConvertUtils; import org.apache.commons.beanutils.Converter; ConvertUtils.register(new Converter(){ public Object convert(Class type, Object value){ return DynaActionFormClass.getDynaActionFormClass((String)value).newInstance(); } }, DynaActionForm.Class); Then when the app initialized DynaActionFormClass.newInstance() is called for a TestForm it looks for a converter for the class DynaActionForm to set the initial value an passes it the name "NestedTestForm." Like I said before though didn't have time to test this today you might run into other problems, and it would be much better if there was a permanent solution..
