In the publishing system I'm developing, there is a TextLink class that has a LinkableType as a member. LinkableType tells me whether this TextLink links to a Page or an Asset (e.g. a pdf or a video). The TextLink has the following methods:
public LinkableType getLinkableType() public void setLinkableType(LinkableType type) //used by DAO when textLink is being loaded from database public void setLinkableType(String typeName) //intended for use by Struts or other client code The latter method looks up the correct LinkableType by name. In my jsp, I have the following: <html:hidden property="textLink.linkableType"> When the page is rendered, the type appears correctly. I assume it calls form.getTextLink().getLinkableType().toString(). When the page is submitted, however, I get an IllegalArgumentError stating that setLinkableType(String) can not be applied to setLinkableType(LinkableType). I've worked around this by adding these methods: public LinkableType getLinkableTypeName() public void setLinkableTypeName(String typeName) and changing the jsp to: <html:hidden property="textLink.linkableTypeName"> While this does work, I find it a bit stickly and I'm surprised that Struts, or BeanUtils, wouldn't be able to find the correct setter method. Anybody else have this experience or advice on implementation?
