Thanks for the response. I perused the JavaBeans spec, but I couldn't find a special rule for when the first capital is in the second position. Perhaps you remember what it is off the top of your head? ;-) Anyway, I've tried changing the case around on the method name to see if I can get some method to match xOffset. Everything I've tried except for getXOffset will throw a servlet exception, and using getXOffset returns null. I've tried using the method names, getxoffset, getXoffset, getxOffset, with corresponding set methods of course.
I can easily get around this problem, but it seemed and still seems strange so I wanted to bring it up. Thanks for the help, Dave > From: Craig R.
