converters

Hi all - 
   JSF has the concept of a converter, does struts have anything like that?

Thanks,
    Jesse

Struts does use BeanUtils, but it doesn't have any concept of
converters like JSF.  This is why Struts wants you to use string
properties in form beans, and it's also why JSF doesn't need the form
bean concept.

Struts uses BeanUtils under the covers to facilitate copying and converting simple data.
(String ==> int, String ==> long, etc...).
