Could formatDate() be throwing an exception? Put it in a try block and give it a go.
Does property="invoiceDate" work? The page should not care how the getXXX() is implemented. -----Original Message----- From: Swaminathan Gurumoorthy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 1:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Newbie: Using "property" attribute in bean:write I have a value object which has a invoice date (String). I have two getMethods in my value object private String invoiceDate; public String getInvoiceDate() { return invoiceDate; } public String getDisplayInvoiceDate() { return DateUtils.formatDate(invoiceDate); } Note that my getDisplayInvoiceDate is just a helper method to format bean property "invoiceDate" Now in my jsp, if I want to display the formatted invoicedate like this <td><bean:write name="detail" property="displayInvoiceDate" /></td> I wud think Struts just call getDisplayInvoiceDate() on the bean and display the value. On the contrary, I get an error javax.servlet.ServletException: Exception thrown by getter for property displayInvoiceDate of bean detail Does this mean, Stuts expects a property "displayInvoiceDate " in my bean? How do I overcome this? Thanks Swami --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
