How to get dates to ActionForm in Struts

[Deli Dumrul]

Hi,

I am using MySQL and i have a birthdate column whose type is date. To be able to insert into this field, how should i define birthdate field in my JSP and actionform.

Thanks

I haven't used this in a while but I'm pretty sure you do it with the regular <html:text> tag. Struts uses the BeanUtils library internally to convert the request parameters (which are always strings anyway) into the type indicated by your <form-bean/> element in struts-config.xml or by your ActionForm class.
