Hi, Both 'Struts in Action' and 'Programming Jakarta Struts' state that ActionForms and DynaActionForms are nearly equivalent and the main advantage of using DynaActionForms is that you don't have to declare all the getters and setters. In DynaAction Forms each property can be of a (array of a) primitive types.
Thanks to Pedro Salgado and Martin Gainty (see "Retrieving boolean properties from a DynaActionForm" on december 16), I partially succeeded in solving the first problem which only confronted me with the next problem :-( And while looking for a solution to that problem, I found a bugreport (23355) in which Craig states that 'Adding these (getInteger, getBoolean etc, Ben) would encourage a behavior that Struts discourages -- using non-String data types in a form bean.' Maybe that this explains why I have only found examples that use String-properties (which lead me to my first question: where can I find examples that use non_string properties?) but it leaves me with the more fundamental question: Why do DynaActionForms offer the possibility to declare non-String properties without supporting them? Should I avoid using DynaActionForms at all and use the DynaValidatorForm?
