where to use ConvertUtils.register ?

[Nicolas De Loof <ni...@capgemini.com>]

Hello,

I just discovered the use of BeanUtils.copyProperties to populate my formbeans from business objets. I would like to
know where to configure my Converters (using ConvertUtils.register) ?

I use a static initialiser in my BaseAction class. Do you have something better to suggest ?

Nico.

A PlugIn would probably be cleaner (or, if you are using Servlet 2.3 
and if you prefer, a ServletContextListener).

See
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/api/org/apache/struts/action/PlugIn.html
http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.3/javadoc/javax/servlet/ServletContextListener.html
