you want to use the class name rather property name on your conversion file.
com.mydomain.model.Artist=com.mydomain.converter.ArtistConverter
You specify the property name when telling struts the Bean type for an
entire collection. I don't think you can register Type Converters for a
particular instance of a Type in that request. I see you are trying to
transform the Various Artists from some variants. You could create a
special class for this property so you can use type conversion but that
seems ugly.
You are better off using EL or a custom tag for rendering the property. You
have more of a formatting issue than actual Type Conversion that moves
values back and forth between different types.
