You haven't said what is it that is the problem. I'll guess that lastName is not being displayed.
Is there supposed to be a default lastName when a WebappUser object is created? As you know that is what will be created when the useBean is encountered. Or, is there already a WebappUser object created before this page is loaded? If so, is it under the same id (userSession) and scope (session)? Sri -----Original Message----- From: Seth Milder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 4:27 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Newbie: Nested Tag Trouble I have a problem with trying to write out subclass properties from struts. I a have a class called WebappUser that contains a method public Person getPerson(){return(_person);} and Person then has a method public String getLastName(){return(_lastName);} A WebappUser object is stored in the session and I want to write out the lastName property for its Person object. In the JSP, I've tried variations of this: <!------------------------------------------------------> <jsp:useBean id="userSession" scope="session" type="edu.gmu.opentac2.webapp.WebappUser" /> . . . <nested:root name="userSession"> <nested:nest property="person"> <nested:write property="firstName" /> </nested:nest> </nested:root> <!------------------------------------------------------> I apologize if the answer is obvious, but I could not really find too many examples of just how to do this. I am sure someone here will show me the errors of my ways, as they have before. -- Seth Milder Department of Physics and Astronomy MS 3f3 George Mason University Fairfax, VA http://www.mrseth.org -- The contempt for law and the contempt for the human consequences of lawbreaking go from the bottom to the top of American society.
