No. Not when the user enters a string with commas. So we are thinking of switching to Strings instead of longs then manually convert, but I was hoping for something more automatic.

Struts doesn't do conversions-- BeanUtils (a Jakarta Commons project) does. Use a String in the Form itself, that way you can validate and re-display incorrect data. Then use BeanUtils to copy the data from the form to some object that you hand to the database. If BeanUtils doesn't convert the way you want it to, you can write your own Converter and register it. Does a number with commas pass validation for a long? -- Wendy Smoak --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
