In retrospect, it seems we didn't give enough detail. If you look into the jetspeed code that dispatches events, you'll see that it traps exceptions from the doXxx methods without logging them (at least, that�s what it did the last time I walked through it). Even if your method threw an exception, it proceeds to call buildNormalContext.
Through experience I, and apparently Gregory, have learned that this leads to situations where your doXxx method doesn't appear to do anything, you don't see any exceptions, and buildNormalContext is called normally. This can be quite baffling. To avoid this, I am now in the habit of logging all events within my action class using the boilerplate code I posted in an earlier message. As I always see my errors in the log, this has saved me mountains of time. Gregory appears to have taken a different (but equally effective) route, tracing into his doXxx method with a debugger when this behavior occurs, capturing the exception details in the debugger itself. The bottom line is this: the most likely cause of the behavior you describe is that your doOwn method is throwing an exception. You can use either of the two methods we've described (try/catch or manual trace with a debugger) to see if this is the case. -- Michael On 5/4/04 10:59 AM, "Boyd, David" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I can display the check box just fine, and the name and value are set > correctly.
