I have encountered a problem where the equals method was implemented on an ActionForm to return true under very loose conditions (ie two similar objects would be regarded as equal). This however broke our JSPs which were then unable to fetch properties from the form bean. Removal of the equals method fixed the code again. Does anyone know why this occurred - I have examined the source code for the html tags and cannot see any point at which it would rely on the equals functionality. Cheers Ivor
