btw, Dave, to answer a couple of your q's below: >> <s:textfield name="dept.deptName" >> label="Dept Name" >> value="dept.deptName" >> size="10" />
>If dept (the Department) is already loaded then the >value="dept.deptName" is not necessary; bean values >will be handled automagically... I don't know if this >is the problem, but as another response hinted at, I'd >remove it. Dropping the value does not seem to work - I get a blank field (but then I may not have the "bean" right). And I would expected that to occur, even though I've read what you're referring to. The above should look like this: <s:textfield name="dept.deptName" label="Dept Name" value="%{dept.deptName}" /> >Just out of curiosity, what happens if you put an ><s:property value="dept"/> in the JSP? You should get >a default Java toString (unless you've overridden it >:) I get this as output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] basically, what I'd expect - a reference to the obj. So, as far as the beer goes, I agree. I do owe you one though ... shadman -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-S2--form-population-problem-tf3792422.html#a10764939 Sent from the Struts - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
