Try swapping the <nested:form> with <html:form>. I'd be surprised if it didn't
start working.
Each tag sets a reference. <nested:form> tag is special in that it's a "root"
tag that defines the start of a nested structure. Your example is nesting fine
until you hit the form tag. I can see your logic in using "../" to get around
the tag, but the relative properties ("../" "/myProp" et al) are against the
bean reference itself not the tag markup. It is "possible", but would take
some implementing without what I see as a real gain, as most nested forms are
relative to the root form bean. Arbitrarily putting a form around an arbitrary
level would be confusing, as the names wouldn't match the form going back to
the server to be set by Struts anyways.
I'd evaluate what it is you're trying to get back out of the form, and the use
of a FormBean as the root bean.
Or the quick answer is "use the <html:form> tag as it won't modify the nested
context that all the child tags are using".
All the best.
