Can you describe the workflow. How do you add BookFile to Book object ?
Workflow: 1. Books are loaded, the controller is BookController and BookManager gets all books. (books.jsp) 2. I select a book and BookForm is loaded (with book info), controller is BookFormController, command class is Book. (bookform.jsp) 3. I click de button "Files" and BookFileList is loaded, the controller is BookFileController and there bookManager gets the book and then the set of bookFiles which is returned as: return new ModelAndView().addObject("bookFileList",bookManager.get(book.getId()).getBookFiles()); so the list of files is displayed. (bookfiles.jsp) 4. When I click on a file, bookFileForm is displayed, the controller is BookFileFormController and it has a different manager wich is BookFileManager.(bookfileform.jsp) Here it's the problem, I can't get to associate the file to the book because I don't know how to get the book without an id. In this controller I only have the id of the bookFile. So, answering you second question, I can't add BookFile to the Book object.
