Forget using html:form, just type those in the old fashion tag way. Then, for most of your tags, at the name="..." attribute so the bean by that name will be obtained from scope (should check request then session automatically) and pull the property you listed. The docs show it should work on 1.2.4+ for html:select, html:options, and html:optionsCollection but NOT html:button. See the Struts site's User Guide for the HTML Tags, http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/dev_html.html, section "HTML Taglib API Reference." Various fields show a name=".." attribute for using other beans, which should include POJOs since it just needs the bean name and a property to retrieve. I've used it for form beans saved in Session scope from inside other forms and from OUTSIDE a form. I think it will work with POJO's since there should be no struts-specific calls, just that name.property lookup.

I am trying to use the html taglib. Here is a sample of what I am trying to do. The form is stored in the session with a name of "PreferencesForm": --------------------------------------------------- <html:form name="PreferencesForm" type="com.tool.manager.DCMTPreferencesForm" method="Post" action="ActionPage.jsp"> <html:select property="selectedColumns" multiple="true" size="5"> <html:options name="selectedColumns"/> </html:select> <br/> <html:button property="ProcessNewParameters" value="Set New Parameters"/> </html:form> ---------------------------------------------- So it sounds like you are saying that this _should_ work? NOTE: I am not extending the ActionForm bean. It is just a POJO bean. Thanks, John -----Original Message----- From: David G.

Have you added the name="..." attribute so it can lookup a bean in any scope by that name instead of trying to use an ActionForm bean? Regards, David -----Original Message----- From: Thorhauer, John (Contractor) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 3:02 PM To: 'user@struts.apache.org' Subject: html taglib usage Hi, Is it possible to use the struts html taglib from version 1.1 without using Struts? I would like to use it in conjunction with my own beans that I am using but can not use all of struts at this point. So I would like to simply put a bean into the session and then make it available to the form and use the struts html taglib to match the bean values to the form. However, when I try this I get the following error on my JSP page: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find ActionMappings or ActionFormBeans collection Any ideas if this is possible and if so what I am doing wrong?
