> Unlike regular classes implementing interface java.util.Map, EnumMap are not well supported through the (automatic?) "Type Conversion" as described here: http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/type-conversion.html
> 1/ the values can't be retrieved through the use of some map-like OGNL expressions like %{myEnumMap['myEnumValue']}
> Neither by just removing the single quotes i.e. %{myEnumMap[myEnumValue]} or by using the @...@ notation e.g. %{myEnumMap[@com.mycompany.somepackage.business@MyEnum.myEnumValue]} it still doesn't work.
> In the example below, the corresponding <s:textfield /> are not populated, while the ones for the Map are.
> 2/ when setting values back to the object, an InstantiationException occurs.
> Effectively, an EnumMap has NO no-arg constructor because initializing an Enum needs to set a parameter: the enum type.
> Note: IMHO looking for a declared no-arg constructor is wrong as Java automatically declares a public no-arg constructor, but here it's not exactly the problem (I'll come back later to this with another issue).
> See attached files for a full running example:
> - TestAction.java:
>  * 1 Map & 1 EnumMap are initialized with 2 entries (key+value) both
>  * the execute() method does the initialization, while the executeLog() does the logging.
> - TestAction-conversion.properties: the appropriate type conversion properties file
> - TestEnum.java: the Enum used as key universe for the EnumMap
> - test.jsp: contains too iterators over the Map & the EnumMap
> - struts.xml (but it's succinct)
