Hi, I want to be able to submit integer values from a form, URL parameters, etc to my action handler, and have WebWork automatically set a property that is of type java.lang.Integer. For example, I want to be able to do this:
http://localhost/editProduct.action?id=100 I want WebWork to then call the MyAction.setId(Integer id); setter method to store the value. Of course, if the URL was: http://localhost/editProduct.action?id=ABC I'd expect WebWork to throw an IllegalArgumentException. However I have been unable to get this to work. *Should* this work? I've stepped through the WW code and found where things appear to go wrong (BeanUtil.setValue() calls BeanUtil.setStringValueDirectly(), which fails). It appears that there is no code to handle the type conversion, hence the problem. I've looked in to property editors, but can't see how they help with this. The other alternatives I can see are to implement ParameterAware, or just accept the ID as a string, and then perform the conversion myself. However for various reasons I'd much prefer to avoid that if possible. In many cases I'd also prefer to avoid using a primitive such as int (since there are cases where I want to store null's in a database). So... My (uncertain) conclusion is that work needs to be done in BeanUtil.java to handle this (and other conversions such as Long, Double, Float, Boolean etc). If someone out there wants to reassure me that this is indeed the case, then I'm willing to figure out what's required and make the changes (I understand that this won't make it in to v1.0). Of course, if I'm missing something here (and I get the feeling I must be), can someone please put me out of my misery? :-) Cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ Webwork-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webwork-user
