No policies for translating request parameters into common java objects.

All java web applications need to translate raw request parameter values into common items such as Integer, Date, and BigDecimal. However, Struts provides absolutely no support for this task. It does not define reasonable default policies, nor does it encourage the user to define such policies in any way.

It is not necessary since other tools have demonstrated that dynamically populated forms can simply reuse standard HTML forms as part of their implementation.
