NOTE: Type conversion should not be used as a substitute for i18n. It is not recommended to use this feature to print out properly formatted dates. Rather, you should use the i18n features of WebWork (and consult the JavaDocs for JDK's MessageFormat object) to see how a properly formatted date should be displayed.

Helper base class

WebWork ships with a helper base class that makes converting to and from Strings very easy. The class is com.opensymphony.webwork.util.WebWorkTypeConverter. This class makes it very easy for you to write type converters that handle converting objects to Strings as well as from Strings.
