What I don't understand is why the push-tag isn't enough either:-) The point is that the push-tag only makes the value of the input-tags corrent, not the "name"-attribute. Why it's designed that way I don't know, but that's what I'm suggesting to change. Go ahead and try it and you'll quickly see what I mean. Take this example here: http://struts.apache.org/2.1.2/docs/struts-2-spring-2-jpa-ajax.html In index.jsp it has: <div style="width: 300px;border-style: solid"> <p>Person Data</p> <s:form action="save" validate="true"> <s:textfield id="id" name="person.id" cssStyle="display:none"/> <s:textfield id="firstName" label="First Name" name="person.firstName"/> <s:textfield id="lastName" label="Last Name" name="person.lastName"/> <s:submit theme="ajax" targets="persons" notifyTopics="/save"/> </s:form> </div> And I propose changing it so that you can write this insted: <div style="width: 300px;border-style: solid"> <p>Person Data</p> <s:form action="save" validate="true"> <s:push value="person"> <s:textfield id="id" name="id" cssStyle="display:none"/> <s:textfield id="firstName" label="First Name" name="firstName"/> <s:textfield id="lastName" label="Last Name" name="lastName"/> <s:submit theme="ajax" targets="persons" notifyTopics="/save"/> </s:push> </s:form> </div> Notice how the "person." part is missing from the input-tags. -- Andreas Joseph Krogh <andr...@officenet.no> Senior Software Developer / CEO ------------------------+---------------------------------------------+ OfficeNet AS | The most difficult thing in the world is to | Karenslyst Allé 11 | know how to do a thing and to watch | PO.
