hi,
The code is as follows. Do not get terrified by the length of the post. I
tried formatting the post for better readability. Hope this helps you... to
help me ;)
@new.xml, this is included in struts.xml
<struts>
<package name="newsCreation" namespace="/new"
extends="struts-default">
<action name="configurenew"
class="com.comp.admin.news.newConfigurationAction"
method="viewnew">
<interceptor-ref name="scope">
< param name="session">
newData,disableFields
< /param>
</interceptor-ref>
<interceptor-ref name="conversionError" />
<interceptor-ref name="params" />
<result>/new/layout/newConfiguration_layout.jsp</result>
<result name="input">
/new/layout/new_layout.jsp
</result>
</action>
@com\comp\admin\news\newConfigurationAction-conversion.properties
newData.maxLimit=com.comp.util.converter.newLongConverter
...
@com.comp.util.converter.newLongConverter
public class newLongConverter extends StrutsTypeConverter {
public Object convertFromString(Map context, String[] values, Class
toClass) {
if (null == values || values.length == 0 || values[0]==null ||
values[0].trim().length()==0 )
return 0;
try {
int i = Integer.parseInt(values[0]);
return i;
} catch (Exception ex) {}
return 0;
}
public String convertToString(Map context, Object obj) {
if (null == obj)
return "0";
if(obj instanceof Long)
return ((Long)obj).longValue()+"";
return "";
}
}
