Vikrant: > If I am declaring it as int how should I check for null.
OK, I think I see what you are asking. If you change your field to an int field and the user does not fill in the value, you will get zero. If they put in zero, you will get zero and there is no way to tell the difference. Is that the problem? I think you are going to have to do it manually. Set your field as a String and then in your validate method, check if it is null or a valid int value. If it is not what you want, throw an ActionError.
