All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class ArrayFormatter
extends Formatter

Currently, in the Formatter class, array are formatted by returning the first item in the array. This is not acceptable in some cases.

One example is a struts multi-select dropdown. In order for struts to correctly handle field highlighting struts expects an array.

This formatter does not handle null arrays or arrays with null items. This class may need to be modified to handle these conditions.
