I guess I better elaborate. You're not using "nested" properties - you've
defined a String property in your DynaActionForm that contains a period/full
stop (i.e. ".") - now Struts is treating it as a "nested" property in the
population process - but its not "nested" its just a simple String. If you
want to actually use "nested" properties then define some kind of bean as a
property in your DynaActionForm that has a "url" property - then it will
work as a "nested" property - if you just want a simple property, then stop
confusing struts and drop the period/full stop.
