I definetely am populating the form variable..
here is the action class
public class InitMffsAction extends Action
{
public ActionForward perform(ActionMapping actionMapping,
ActionForm actionForm,
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest,
HttpServletResponse httpServletResponse)
{
PropertyResourceBundle prb = null;
try
{
System.out.println(
"---------------Printing from within perform of
LegaldocsqueryinitAction : " +
actionMapping.toString());
System.out.println(
"---------------Printing from within perform of
LegaldocsqueryinitAction : " +
httpServletRequest.toString());
lam.mffs.form.MffsActionForm mfform = (lam.mffs.form.MffsActionForm)
actionForm;
InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(
"lam/mffs/action/mffsdata.properties");
prb = new PropertyResourceBundle(is);
Context ctx = this.getInitialContext(prb.getString(
"servlet.initialcontext.url"));
MffsSessionHome home = (MffsSessionHome)ctx.lookup("MffsSession");
MffsSessionRemote admin = (MffsSessionRemote)home.create();
mfform.setEnd_date(admin.getEndDate());
mfform.setProduct_desc(admin.getProdctDescription());
mfform.setTableNames(admin.getTableNames());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
LamLog.log(this, LamLog.FATAL,
"Problem getting initial data from ejb " + e.getMessage());
throw new java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException(
"Method perform() has thrown an exception " + e.getMessage());
}
return actionMapping.findForward("success");
}
private Context getInitialContext(String url) throws Exception
{
Properties properties = null;
try
{
properties = new Properties();
properties.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
LamLog.log(this, LamLog.FATAL,
"Unable to connect to WebLogic server at " + url);
throw e;

Please respond to
"Struts Users
Mailing List"
In your action class, are you actually populating a List in your form before
forwarding to that page?
>From the error, it appears that getTableNames() on your form is returning
null.
