> I have registered beanutils converters in order to handle directly my hibernate
> objects in the ActionForms. However, I've got many problems due to the usage of
> the toString() method instead of the appropriate converter method in the struts
> source code.
> For example, in HiddenTag:
> 93             if (value == null) {
> 94                 results = "";
> 95             } else {
> 96                 results = TagUtils.getInstance().filter(value.toString());
> 97             }
> 98         }
> This should be:
> 96                 results =
> TagUtils.getInstance().filter(ConvertUtils.convert(value));
> in order to work correctly.
> I've had a quick look at the html taglib and I found these incorrect conversions:
> BaseFieldTag: 183
> CheckboxTag: 187
> HiddenTag: 96
> ImgTag: 678, 741
> OptionsCollectionTag: 244, 245
> OptionsTag: 234, 235, 259, 266
> I think there are other places where toString() is called instead of
> ConvertUtils.convert(Object) (see also STR-1455)
> Thanks.
