Thanks the tip but unfortunately it doesn't help.
The basic problem still remains, namely Struts and Hibernate require
different types for the accessor methods.
After some thinking I've came to realize that my approach might be
wrong,
I shouldn't use the same class for the Struts ActionForm and for the
Hibernate persistence objects. It might work for simple cl***** where
all
the members are Strings but this is not the way to go for other types.
I'm not sure though, so I would really appreciate if somebody
with experience with both Hibernate and Struts would weigh in on this.
Thanks,
Thomas
