Well, Thx for the reply.....it need not be a String to Date ...it can be String to int too....am asking for a clarification...what I understand is..
When a form is submitted...all the values go as String..(request.getParameter()
).I want to know if Struts converts the form parameters according to the Data type required in the formBean...if thats the case, Can change the datatype for the formBean without affecting the UI display as well as making no changes for the data type conversion in my utils or Action classes???
