you can't use property="*" with value=, The property="*" expression tells the jsp compiler to generate code to use reflection to match up request params with bean fields.
property - The name of the Bean property whose value you want to set If you set propertyName to * then the tag will iterate over the current ServletRequest parameters, matching parameter names and value type(s) to property names and setter method type(s), setting each matched property to the value of the matching parameter. If a parameter has a value of "", the corresponding property is not modified. > Thanks for your answer but this doesnt work! The following lines have no > affect on the bean: > <jsp:setProperty name="myBean" property="firstName" value="<%=null%>"/> > <jsp:setProperty name="myBean" property="firstName" value="<%=""%>"/> > <jsp:setProperty name="myBean" property="firstName" value=""/> > Also: > <jsp:setProperty name="myBean" property="*" value=""/> > or > <jsp:setProperty name="myBean" property="*" value="<%=""%>"/> > causes: > org.apache.jasper.JasperException: jsp.error.setProperty.invalid > Any other ideas? ==========================================================================To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
