Hey Denis, I'm not sure if I got you right, but you surely can access a nested bean in a form.
i.e.: <html:text name="aForm" property="aBean.aData" /> ...is that understandable? (Do you have a "nested" taglib?)

I can populate the aData from my backend data resources and write it to JSP as the following: <nested:form action='the action related the aForm'> <nested:nest property='aBean'> <nested:write property='aData'> ... My problem is how to read the aData from JSP and write it to my backend data resources. I tried: <nested:form action='the action related the aForm'> <nested:nest property='aBean'> <nested:text property='aData'> ... The server will throw NullPointerException. I am afraid the struts don't know how to initiate aBean before setProperty("aData"). Any help will be highly appreciated!
