Thanks Dave,

Yes, the <s:property.../> isn't supposed to be there....  Thanks for
pointing this out. Indeed, it has to be an object there, in order to
do the remove from the collection. Since this value-type component
(entry) does not have a primary key to look it up from, I am a bit at
a loss how to continue from here.

If you don't mind, could you explain a little bit further? I have
successfully removed entity object from collections before because all
I neede was the primary key to be passed to the delete action. Then
inside the action I did the look up using the key and removed the
object. But with this type of object I have hit a roadblock.

I appreciate any further help.


This is the class:

@Embeddable
public class JournalEntry {
        
        @org.hibernate.annotations.Parent
        private GoalToAchieve goalToAchieve;
        
        @Column(length = 255, nullable = false)
        private String entry;
        
        @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
        @Column(nullable = false, updatable = false)
        private Date insertDate = new Date();


....plus the appropriate getters and setters..
