I don't know.. but what you're trying makes no sense from an engineering point of view... Form objects are not meant to represent tables... they are view only objects... it's up to your action class to then map the view to the database ( or, better, translate the view to 1+ value objects, call your business object which n turns actually handles manipulating the DAO objects), not the other way around. If you follow that, then this entire thread becomes moot, because you're using struts as it was designed to be used. > > Shed > > > Wy would you want to?
