Posting Java 5 Enum values

I have an object that contains a Java 5 enum class.  I'm having problems 
getting this to post back to my action.  Is there any documentation on 
how to do this?  Do I need to create a custom type 
converter/annotation/properties file?

Thanks, yes that is what I wanted to do.  I wrote a custom converter and 
it works fine.  I was just hoping that struts2 would have a built in 
convert for this type since it's part of java 5.  That might be a good 
item to add to a future version of struts2.  Of course it only took me 
10 minutes to write one so no biggy. 

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'getting this to post back to my action'. 
If you are trying to update a property whose type is an enum using a 
form POST or something similar the yes, you will need a custom converter 
for that. If that's not what you want to do, please post more details.
