Yup, I am using the struts html tag library and thus the html:form tag has
been used.
Yes the Person class exposes attributes through getters and setters. I am
here quoting the Person class and NameForm:
public class NameForm extends ActionForm
{
private Person p;
public void setP(Person p) {
this.p = p;
}
public Person getP() {
return p;
}
}
And the Person class is as follows:
public class Person
{
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private int age;
public void setFirstName(String firstname) {
this.firstName = firstName;
}
public String getFirstName() {
return firstName;
}
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getLastName() {
return lastName;
}
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
}
And the nameForm.jsp uses these. The code of concern is as follows:--
<nested:nest property="p">
<nested:text property="firstName"/>
</nested:nest>
I even tried this:
<html:text property="p.firstName"/>
