Re: Struts-BSF, Struts-Scripting [was Re: Proposal: Javascript-to-Java object conversions]

["Frank W. Zammetti" <fz...@omnytex.com>]

I started toying with this today... The first problem I found is that if 
you set the value of a form field to an object (i.e., 
theForm.myField.value = myObject;), you DON'T get it serialized as was 
indicated originally... You simply get the typical [Object] string.  At 
least, this is the case in IE 6.

I wrote a quick function to create a CSV string out of the properties of 
an object, no big deal.  It won't work for array properties at the 
moment, but one step at a time I figure.  Tomorrow I'll see about 
writing the BeanUtils converter to handle that and spit out a HashMap 
with the values.  That will take care of the Javascript->Java portion of 
the equation.
