Hello, I have a form in Struts which has a drop-down select list where the options are populated by a bean that reads the options from a database. On the form JSP, I use: <jsp:useBean id="formData" scope="request" class="com.eviciti.struts.test.GetQueryFormDataBean" > <jsp:setProperty name="formData" property="datasourceName" value="<%= application.getInitParameter ("mainDataSourceName") %>" /> </jsp:useBean> Within this bean, I have defined an ActionError field that is null unless some error occurs within the bean. So, this block of code will show the error: <logic:present name="formData" property="strutsError" scope="request"> <bean:define id="ERROR" name="formData" property="strutsErrors" scope="request" type="org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors" /> <% request.setAttribute(org.apache.struts.action.Action.ERROR_KEY, ERROR); %> </logic:present> With the above structure, the <html:errors /> tag happily sees any errors. However, I have to use a JSP scriptlet, as you can see, to associate the ActionErrors object with the proper key name. The reason for this is that the actual Action.ERROR_KEY name is: "org.apache.struts.action.ERROR", and that isn't a valid Java variable name -- so I can't use it in the id parameter of the <bean:define> tag. So, I'm wondering ... why isn't Action.ERROR_KEY delimited by underscores or something that would make it a legal var name? Or, is there some other way to do this that I'm missing? Thanks, Doug
