Ok this has me stumped... the down and dirty:
formBean has HashMap called fooMap fooMap has keys that bring back beans of type BarBean BarBean has properties someCode , someDescrip Now I want to iterate over this map and create the properties based on the properties in BarBean and be able to update this form which will then update the underlying BarBeans in the map. (Ignore the part that I know that's a hassle about the reset method and making sure Map exist there). <c:forEach var="beanInMap" items="${formBean.fooMap}"> someCode: <html-el:text property="????????"/><br> someDescrip: <html-el:text property="????????"/><br> <br> </c:forEach> the text will display fine in the form with: someCode: <html-el:text name=beanInMap" property="beanInMap.deptCode" /> but when the form submits all the bean property values are null ( in the reset if it matters for testing i'm just creating a few maps with empty BarBeans in the map). I'm stumped.. any help much appreciated. -- Rick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
