[Fwd: Tomcat's non-polymorphic request handler.]

I sent this to the tomcat user group, but got no response.

Comments?

I'm having some difficulty with the polymorphic behavior of Tomcat's
request handler.
Consider the following:

package RMS;
import java.lang.Integer;

public class TestPolyMorph {
    int i;
    String s;
    public void setNumberVar(String i) {
        this.i = Integer.parseInt(i);
    }
    public void setNumberVar(int i) {
        this.i = i;
    }
    public int getNumber() {
        return(i);
    }
    public void setStringVar(String s) {
        this.s = s;
    }
    public String getStringVar(String s) {
        return(s);
    }
    public TestPolyMorph() {
    }
}

... and the .JSP file:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<!--  <meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
  <meta http-equiv="Expires" content="Mon, 01 Jan 1990 00:00:01 GMT">
-->
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html;CHARSET=iso-8859-1">
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css">
</head>
<%@ page language="java" import="RMS.*" %>
<jsp:useBean    id="ui" class="RMS.TestPolyMorph" scope="session"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="ui" property="*"/>
<body>
Testing... Testing... Testing.
</body>
</html>


Now... the passing a non-integer value for the property: numberVar will
yield a stack trace:
http://SERVER:PORT/CONTEXT/jsp/TestPolyMorph.jsp?numberVar=foobar

Even though there is indeed a method signature:
setNumberVar(String i);
....
Tomcat prefers to use (through introspection):
setNumberVar(int i);

The beans I use to handle property settings must continue to use
polymorphism.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
