Here is a snippet from my initializing action before it goes to the form view:
...
LazyValidatorForm ppForm = (LazyValidatorForm)form;
ProtectedPersonLocal ppl = null;
ProtectedPersonDTO dto = null;
String sid = null;
sid = request.getParameter("sid");
ppl = (ProtectedPersonLocal)EJBHelper.getLocalInstance(ProtectedPersonLocalHome.JNDI_NAME);
dto = ppl.getProtectedPersonBySid(sid);
BeanUtils.copyProperties(ppForm, dto);
....
The values in question are java.lang.String objects. Should be basic stuff right? I stepped through the debugger, and the LazyValidatorForm object is being set correctly for the null strings from my VO; however, when it comes to displaying the form for editing, the "null" fields contain an object reference like [EMAIL PROTECTED] If I update the form with any type of text values, it'll show correctly the next time that I go to update the data. It's only happening when there are null values involved.

Please provide more information. How is your form configured/written? Are there "initial" values? What is the type of the data from which you're copying a value?

Why does an object reference (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) show up in my text fields when I prepopulate the form using Jakarta commons BeanUtils.copyProperties(...)? The values in the database are null, and I know this has something to do with it, so I guess my real question is, "How do I fix it?".
