[S2] Getting property value from Enum

[Steven Yang <ke...@gmail.com>]

Hi First of all if this question has been ask, I apologize for the double
post. and please refer me to the reference. thanks

I am using 2.1.6.
I have a Enum class Gender
and it has a method getTextKey() which simply returns a key for me to use in
getText() in Action

If in my Action I have

private Gender gender

getter...
setter..

then in my jsp if i use
<s:property value="gender.textKey"/>
I get nothing
(toString is not called)

if i use
<s:property value="gender.getTextKey()"/>

I found that it calls toString() first then calls getTextKey() on it and
result in nothing because there is no method called getTextKey on String.

Is this a bug? or am i missing something?

Thanks

Don't worry, we all made this kind of mistake before.
and this would not be the last time.
bless you...

Just want to add some more information
if I do
<s:property value="gender.toString()"/>
<s:property value="gender.name()"/>
<s:property value="gender.cardinal()"/>
I get what is expected.
I guess all native Enum methods are fine.
