Greetings,
It seems that handling non-string data types such as dates and wrapped primitives is akward in Struts. I guess it would be nice if I didn't have to convert all my non-string values to Strings when copying them in to a FormBean and convert them back again when going from the FormBean to the JavaBean. Is this a job for a custom tag, or is this functionality already built in to Struts somewhere? Thanks for listening!

Try using the BeanUtils.copyProperties() method. You may have to write your own converters depending on your data types.
