Hi all, I ran into the same problem as mentioned in
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg72240.html and I was able to track it down. In summary, the user has a control in his JSP page: <html:text property="apache.org" /> And while presenting an existing bean works fine, trying to populate a new bean with the form data fails with a very cryptic error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No bean specified at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptor(Propert yUtils.java:837) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.setProperty(BeanUtils.java:934) at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.populate(BeanUtils.java:808) ... The cause is that in the form bean, before population, getApache() returns null, and so setProperty is called as setProperty(null,"org",value) (because the tag wants to execute the equivalent of "bean.getApache().setOrg()") -- which throws the exception above. Now, I wonder if this can -- or should -- be fixed by Struts, Commons, or whoever. At any rate, since (I think) with Struts the effect is more surprising, a word about this should be dropped in the user's guide where nested attributes are mentioned. So -- should I submit a bug report? If so, where? Thanks, Shai. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
