Hi, I am using Struts 2.0.11.
I am running into an issue when using type converters and pre-populating corresponding select boxes. I defined a type converter in xwork-conversion.properties and everything works for normal text fields (converter is called perfectly). The problem I have occurs when pre-populating select boxes. Let's assume that I have a class Foo that has a field 'id'. In my converter method 'convertToString' will return a String representation of the id field (integer) and method 'convertFromString' will set the 'id' field of Foo. This works fine for text fields (I know the setup may not make perfect business sense but I hope it illustrates the problem) Let's further assume that I have a select box with a list of Foos. <s:select list="foos" name="foo"> To illustrate my propblem I left off the attributes 'listValue' and 'listKey'. In this particuliar case shouldn't the type converter (implicitly) be called for both value and key? Unfortunately the converter is only called for the 'labels'. The 'values' are retrieved by calling toString() on the Foo class which I did not anticipate to happen. As another work-around I tried this: <s:select list="foos" name="foo" listKey="id"> Now my list of foos is populated correctly BUT no value in the select box is pre-selected, although the field 'foo' has a matching entry in 'foos'. I am assuming that the problem might be that name="foo" is using the converter and the key is populated by calling foo.getId() and therefore returning an integer? Is this possibly an issue and worth opening a Jira ticket or do I miss something here in my setup? Thanks a lot in advance!
