Correct me if I wrong, I think in the bean it should be: void setCategoryName(Map categoryName) and Map getCategoryName() -hemanth

I get the error message "javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method for property categoryName(2) of bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN" I have a HashMap in my form called categoryNames and a getter/setter like this: public void setCategoryName(String key, Object name) { this.categoryNames.put(key, name); } public Object getCategoryName(String key) { return this.categoryNames.get(key); } I put a bunch of AccountCategory objects in the session and then the jsp loops through to display the input boxes like this: <c:forEach var="category" items="${sessionScope.accountCategories}"> <html:text property="categoryCode(<%= ((AccountCategory)pageContext.getAttribute("category")).getAccountCategoryID () %>)"/> </c:forEach> Any ideas? Do I need struts 1.1 for this (I'm using 1.0.2)?
