WebWork Tip of the Day: Type Conversion when using ModelDriven
Googling for people’s experiences with WebWork rarely turns up any results other than the docs and the equivalent at Struts 2, so most of the time finding out how to do something involves looking at the showcase. However, I found something it doesn’t do today - type conversion in a model driven action.
The trick is to specify your conversion properties on the model itself, not the action as you usually would. Makes plenty of sense now, but I wished I’d figured that out much earlier

Dave added these pithy words on Aug 12 06 at 1:21 pmI am struggling with precisely this today. After your hint I was able to get it going by putting the converter on the Model. However, I can’t seem to get the model populated in my save action. The page displays fine, with the iterator showing all the properties of my list. However, when this form is submitted, I can’t get those values in my action bean. Any tips would be appreciated.
