Are you listing the properties explicitly, i.e. properties="name,description"? If that's the case, I don't see how the BeanForm knows anything at all about your ID field. And if there's not even a setId( ) method, there's no way at all for BeanForm to modify the property (it doesn't modify fields directly). Is your Group object marked persistent in the page specification? This sounds like a problem somewhere else...

Hi, Is it possible to use the BeanForm component (http://beanform.sourceforge.net/) for updating a pojo with no setter method for a persistence id? For example I have a Group object with properties id, name, description. In the form only name and description is shown. I don't want to show the id and I don't want to have a setId(id) method on the pojo. This should be controlled by hibernate (with field access) completely. When there is no setter method for id - BeanForm is returning a Group object with a null "value" for id. This means that what should have been an update in the database becomes an insert since hibernate thinks that it is an not-persisted object (no id). Why cant the BeanForm component just update the fields in action (in the form) for the pojo e.g. just call setName and setDecription and leave the id intact?
