I'm new to struts and am setting up some form beans. I'm using
hibernate, and one of my tables has a lot of foreign keys. The target
tables are pretty much just lookup tables, which I use to populate a
good number of drop-downs on my web page. Most of the foreign keys are
optional, and I'm storing the values in the action form as java.lang.Long.
The optional dropdowns all have <option value="">None</option>, but when
the form is submitted, and the empty string is coerced to a
java.lang.Long, it gives me a value of 0 instead of null. Am I going
about this the right way? Should I just suck it up and handle the 0
value, or is there a better way to lay out my form bean's class?
Thanks,
Scott
