Denise, I had the same problem once. All my calls to getProperties were coming back null. It turned out to be a pathing issue in my form. I'm not sure why it even ran the JSP with the incorrect path inside ACTION parameter of the form but it did run and it returned null values for all the properties. It nearly drove me to drink(at work) and I screamed several times and said many bad words until I figured it out. It had to do with my JkMount statement, my default classpath(tomcat), and my path inside the ACTION parameter. You might try calling it different ways to see if that helps.

I tried to "echo print" the value of the PostalCode after it has been picked up by the bean, by calling <jsp:getProperty name="FormHandler" property="PostalCode"/>. And I get an error message stating : org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Cannot find any information on property 'PostalCode' in a bean of type 'com.complusdata.beans.FormBean' When I complete the Form, I type in 12345 in the input box and yet it seems as if the value of PostalCode is "lost" in the bean. Any thoughts?

Importance: High Hi all. This one's kind of urgent because its holding up the rest of my project... I'm not sure I understand why this is happening. I have a bean that I use for form validation. When I test the code locally using an editor and hard coding variable values, the code runs perfect and all information is validated (i.e. check zip code length =5, check zip code is a number, check credit card number is a number, check all fields are filled in etc"). However, when I try to validate my form through Tomcat I keep getting errors on the same fields over and over. Any idea why this would be happening? I have posted my code below just in case, but since it worked when I ran it in the editor, I do not think the problem is my code. The only thing I can think of is that somehow, something screwy is happening when my bean properties are being set.... Thanks in advance! Denise Errors (only get these over Tomcat): I enter 12345 as zip code, and I get "Please enter a valid zip code." error message (The second error only comes up when I try a non numeric zip so that part works ok). Input type is text and bean variable is string. The Code: if (PostalCode.equals("") || PostalCode.length() != 5 ) { errors.put("PostalCode","Please enter a valid zip code."); PostalCode=""; allOk=false; } else { try { int x = Integer.parseInt(PostalCode); } catch (NumberFormatException e) { errors.put("PostalCode","Please enter a valid 5 digit zip code."); PostalCode=""; allOk=false; } } I enter 12/03 for Expiration date, and keep getting invalid message. Input type is text, and bean variable in bean is a String. The Code: if (Expires.equals("")) { errors.put("Expires","Please enter expiration date as MM/YY."); Expires=""; allOk=false; } I try [EMAIL PROTECTED] for both email and retype email. Input type is text and bean variable is string. Here is the code: if (Email.equals("") || (Email.indexOf("@") <= 0)) { errors.put("Email","Please enter a valid email address."); Email=""; allOk=false; } else if (!Email.equals(retypeemail)) { errors.put("Email","The emails entered do not match."); Email = ""; retypeemail=""; allOk=false; } -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
