Thanks for the assist and pointing out a goofy bug.. I noticed Craig wasn't active in the last 24 hours at least, so figured that was the case.
Some more info: 1. I added a block to check to see if a nested field was "y" or "x" to skip image tags.. That got me further 2. Then I started seeing that same IllegalAccessException on non-nested field names.. 3. I then removed the doPriviledged() call inside the MappedPropertyDescriptor class and all is well - no exception, code works now.. 4. I then removed the check for the "y" and "x" and all is still working, so it wasn't the image button at all - just the security check.. More context info: I'm running on Windows XP with JDK 1.3.0 with Jboss 3.0.4 and Jetty 4.1.3. I have no server.policy configured (i.e. the server is wide open for now). I tried a policy, but same problem persisted. I saw a post about this on the commons mail archive regarding reflection and anon inner classes. It referenced a bug in the VM. As such, I'm not sure why this is showing up for me but apparently others are using the Struts nightly and not seeing any problems. So, I'll run with this version of beanutils for now and wait for Craig and/or others to provide more insight into why this is happening and what the overall fix should be. On to fixing a javascript validator NPE I was seeing (server side works) and all should be well.
