What is the type of Different Complex Type, is it Enum? Struts usually provides mapping for String and primitive type.
If its not Enum, you should try mapping the value of Select which is string, to a class attribute which is of type String. If its Enum, you may need to write a custom handler for mapping Enum type, from String. *Thanks & Regards/ **सादर**,* *Gaurav Daga* *togauravd...@gmail.com <togauravd...@gmail.com> | +1.201.308.3242 | Web Presence <http://goo.gl/lW0nh> * Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Harold R.
