You know, the far simpler answer here, assuming null doesn't have any
special meaning to your app, is to simply initialize your fields in your
ActionForms. I.e.,
public class myForm extends ActionForm {
private String firstName = "";
public void setFirstName(String inFirstName) {
firstNam

Depends on how you want to handle blank fields, I suppose.
Empty fields in a form submision aren't null; they're empty strings.
Am I misunderstanding what you mean?

Hi Chris,
As with most things, it depends on your app... what would be most
appropriate to get from your ActionForm? If you never want to get a null
out of it, you can do the check in the accessor of the ActionForm. If
it's something that is a valid return, you probably will want to do the
check
Hello
What is the best way to handle, in an Action, form
fields that are blank? If you have a simple getter
that just returns the field, how do you handle it when
the field is not in the session b/c it was not filled
in? Do I just check for fieldName==null in the getter
of the ActionForm? tia.
