If you try to clicking the "Save" button, you'll get a nice and descriptive <span style="background: #ffd">javax.servlet.ServletException: BeanUtils.populate</span> stack trace. This is caused by the fact that the ''struts_form.xdt'' (prior to AppFuse 1.9) did not account for plurals that ended in "ies". To fix this, replace ''metadata/web/struts_form.xdt'' with [the latest one from CVS|https://appfuse.dev.java.net/source/browse/*checkout*/appfuse/metadata/templates/struts_form.xdt] (right-click, save as).

Run __and clean deploy__ and try clicking the ''Save'' button again. This time you might get the following lovely error:

<strong>The process did not complete. Details should follow.</strong><br/>

Could not convert java.lang.String to java.sql.Timestamp<br/>

</div>

I'll admit, I struggled with this issue for ''hours'' and I still don't have a good solution. From my hours of trial-and-error, the only conclusion I can come up with is that Struts (and Commons BeanUtils in particular) can't handle java.util.Date and java.sql.Timestamp together very well. If you know of a solution that'll allow displaying and saving a date and timestamp on the same form, please [comment on APF-176|http://issues.appfuse.org/browse/APF-176]. The problem is basically that I can't get the DateConverter to recognize Date as a java.util.Date - for some reason it thinks it's a Timestamp in the following logic:

[{Java2HtmlPlugin

if (value instanceof Date) {

DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat(DateUtil.getDatePattern());

// this works in unit tests, but when running in Tomcat, a java.util.Date

// comes through as a java.sql.Timestamp - wierd eh?

if (value instanceof Timestamp) {

df = new SimpleDateFormat(TS_FORMAT);

}

try {

return df.format(value);

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();

throw new ConversionException("Error converting Date to String");

}

For the purpose of this tutorial, you'll need to replace your ''src/service/org/appfuse/util/__DateConverter.java__'' with the [latest one from CVS|https://appfuse.dev.java.net/source/browse/*checkout*/appfuse/src/service/org/appfuse/util/DateConverter.java].
