I have List<BaseObject> foo The list is of type BaseObjectImpl
BaseObject has fields: String a String b BaseObjectImpl has fields: String c String d Now I'm in a JSP and want to iterate foo (using <s:iterator>), accessing fields c and d (inside iterator using <s:property>, for example). How? As far as Struts knows I'm dealing with BaseObject. Is there a way for me to cast to BaseObjectImpl without creating a StrutsTypeConverter for every object I'm extending? In my use case, there will be several and the temptation is to just define the list with the implementation which foils reusability patterns (e.g., List<BaseObjectImpl>). Likewise, what to do when posting back to a field like this: BaseObject bar (which has BaseObjectImpl as its implementation) e.g., <s:textfield name="bar.c" /> Is there a totally different approach that would be better or is StrutsTypeConverter the only good answer? - Eric
