#3 field type convertors

[lee fellows]

Hi,

I am getting an exception:
net.sourceforge.osage.mapping.MappingException: No
convertor exists for converting java.lang.String to
java.sql.Timestamp.

What do I need to do?

Hi Lee,

It would be better if you gave the mapping with this. Do
you have java.sql.Timestamp in db and String in class
field? There's no built in convertor for this. You can
write your own custom convertors. Instead of this, I
recommend that you use java.util.Date (field type date).
You'll need patch for this. Please see mailing list about
this.

Please see Types.java in package
net.sourceforge.osage.castor for a list of built-in
convertors.

Regards, george

Hi George,

Thank you. Interestingly, I had defined timestamp for the
db and
Timestamp for java and still got the error. I remember
reading of a Date
conversion problem on the Castor mailing list.

I will pursue this.
