I guess I didn't include all from struts-config.xml that I needed to include.
Here is the full portion of the configuration for all the actions relating to the MappingElement They all have the name="MappingElement" <action name="MappingElement" path="/EditMappingElement" type="com.alariusj.verdx.actions.EditMappingElement"> <forward name="mappingElementForm" path="/pages/MappingElementForm.jsp"/> </action> <action name="MappingElement" path="/DeleteMappingElement" type="com.alarius.datasource.actions.EditMappingElement"/> <action name="MappingElement" path="/SaveMappingElement" type="com.alariusj.verdx.actions.SaveMappingElement"> <forward name="showVerdXDataSourceDescriptor" path="/ShowVerdXDataSourceDescriptor.do"/> </action> So I am still at a loss as to why the bean was not getting associated with the html:form tag. Adding the name attribute to the input tags works but WOULD be redundant if the html:form tag was working properly. Michael Oliver CTO Alarius Systems LLC 6800 E.
