RE: Nested properties of form bean not being updated !
You can root your nesting using the nested:root tag. For example: nested:root name=some-bean !-- All the nested references -- /nested:root Alternatively, if all your nesting is within a nested:form, and the action mapping for the given action has a ActionForm (form-bean) associated with it, that bean will be used. nested:form action=fooAction !-- All the nested references -- /nested:form Here, if the mapping for action 'fooAction' specifies a bean named 'fooBean' (in your struts-config), then that is what will be used. In your case, (I trust you are using a nested:form action=updateEPR in your top-level JSP) voEPR is your form-bean. To get to voEngagementDetails, you *would* (in 64_eng_del) have nested:nest property=voEngagementDetails !-- etc -- /nested:nest as you have shown, however for this to work you *must* have the nested:form as I explained above. Why? Because all nested tags keep track of the current scope and all property references are relative to the scope. So if the scope is the form bean voEPR, then a call for property=voEngagementDetails results in a call to voEPR.getEngagementDetails(). BTW there is an added wrinkle if you are tryging to nest collections. For the version of the Nested extension used with Struts 1.0.2, when working with Collections, you are forced (due to a limitation in BeanUtils) to provide an Object array. For example, to use eprGoals in voEPR you will either have to modify your getter to return eprGoals.toArray() or create another getter that does the needful.

Holy cow! Yes, you gave enough details.. Looking at JSPs a few things jump out: * You aren't using any of the nested tags. To take advantage of the nested extension, you have to use the nested:xyz equivalent of the usual tags. So, instead of html:form you should use nested:form, instead of html:text you should use nested:text. Of course, make sure you have the necessary taglib statement for the nested tags. This should fix a lot of your problems * Even though 64_eng_del.jsp is an included file, it ends with a /body/html. You probably don't want to leave that for the *includer* -- your top-level JSP. Remember the top-level has an open form tag that it closes at the end of all includes Give this a shot.

Hi Sri Thanks for getting back to me. I've included 1. A portion of my struts config: - My form bean definition - And the action mapping 2. My action class 3. My JSPs, which are comprised of - - My top level jsp... that contains the form bean definition, and the forwarding action name - The include '64_eng_del.jsp' contains the nested bean 4. The two Value objects - VOEPR, (which contains VOEngagementDetails) and - VOEngagementDetails As i said before all the top level attributes of the VOEPR are fine ... i can update them. It's the VOEngagement Details where things fall over. Nothing seems to be get set here. When i trace through into my action - the 'form' object doesn't seem to contain these nested attributes. Sri .. any help would be great. Cheers Giles PS: Hope this is enough info this time :) # 1) Struts config # !-- == Start Form Bean Definitions == -- form-beans !-- VOEPR form bean -- form-bean name=voEPR type=au.com.eclipsegroup.egem.valueObject.VOEPR/ !-- == End of Form Bean Definitions

You have a clear description of what you are trying to accomplish but I
don't know *how* you are going about it.
Need a look-see at your code. In particular, how are your struts-config and
JSP set up? Show the pertinent form-bean and action mapping from your
config and a portion (at least) or your html:form in the JSP.

Subject: Nested properties of form bean not being updated !
Hi
I'm having problems updating the nested properties of an action form
bean can anyone help ?
I have a nested bean, say Address that lives within another bean, say
Person. Both are value objects, which extend action form bean. I have the
correct getters and setters set-up for both these beans.
When I retrieve these values from the server

Both are value objects, which extend action form bean. I have the correct getters and setters set-up for both these beans. When I retrieve these values from the server, and populate my value objects I get all the fields displaying as should be i.e. both the Person and Address VOs contain and display my expected data. However, when I try and do an update on Person and do a submit, the form attribute in my action contains only the updated values of Person, and not the updated values of the nested bean - Address. I'm using struts1.0.2 and have looked at the nested tag of the beta version of struts 1.1-b2 From what I can gather the beta doesn't really provide any additional functionality for my needs other than providing a cleaner and more manageable interface. (I can't use the beta as it's not production yet, and my company won't take that step.) Can anyone shed some light???
