Jason - thanks for your help. I do appreciate it. This code worked in 1.1 beta and I haven't had a chance to look at it since then. I have found that the exception I am getting is caused by Struts via BeanUtils attempting to access a setter on a bean when the setter method doesn't exist.
I added to the line: private Properties elementMap = new Properties(); I rechecked the name of the methods and the name in the jsp. I remember once I had a space between the ( and the parameter and the parser couldn't find the parameter. This page lives in a set of pages that all use the same formBean it is the only page that uses the map. Also the html text control code lives in a tile. The tile declares itself a form and uses the correct form. I'll have to dig in the source I guess. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Lea [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 3:29 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Map Backed Form Perhaps you need to step through the struts-config to make sure you are referencing the correct form bean. Do you access the .jsp page directly or go through an action first? I would also look at your initialisation of the elementMap. Perhaps you should be using private Properties elementMap = new Properties(); and in your reset method: elementMap.clear() to make sure it is initialised at first use. If you accessed the .jsp directly I don't think the reset method is called, but the bean is created.
