Hi all
I have Task's combo box on Jsp page (struts framework),
one of the tasks is Dummy task with null ID (don't do anything task).
The problem occur when i select this task - struts put 0 (Long) on the selectedTaskId instead of null.

Is it possible to make the struts-select change this behavior?

list :
taskId taskName
null don't do anything
1 remove all files task
2 remove all .temp files
3 backup all files

I dont think struts will populate a null value.

null don't do anything

Not an answer to your question . Still why cant you change the logic to

if 0 - don't do anything??

or else , check if value is 0 set null to it .

I guess I could check if its 0 and convert it to null,
anyway this behavior is strange,

Thank you
