Hello All, I am struts newbie - so this might be a config issue, but..
I have an ActionForm and Action for user input, with a html:cancel button on it. If the user hits the submit button, things work fine - the form is validated, populated and passed to my action. I thought my cancel was working before - it did not do the validation and the isCancelled returned true, but now it is failing in the RequestProcessor.populate - its trying to find a bean property related to the cancel button: StandardWrapperValve[action]: Servlet.service() for servlet action threw exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Null property value for 'org' java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Null property value for 'org' at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getNestedProperty(PropertyUti ls.java:755) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getProperty(PropertyUtils.jav a:801) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.setProperty(BeanUtils.java:881) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.populate(BeanUtils.java:808) at org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.populate(RequestUtils.java:1252) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processPopulate(RequestProcess or.java:821) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process(RequestProcessor.java: 254) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1482) at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:525) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:763) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:856) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(Applica tionFilterChain.j ava:284) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilt erChain.java:204) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValv e.java:256) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardValveContext.invokeNext(StandardValveCo ntext.java:151) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardPipeline.invoke(StandardPipeline.java:5 64) I'd have throught that the check for the cancel would happen before the populate so that it is short circuited? Or should I be using prefixes/suffixes to get round this? Does this sound correct?
