This is probably because you haven't added a hidden field with the id of the
object you're trying to update.
So if you need to edit an object in the actionBean accessed with:
getCustomer() / setCustomer(...) in the actionBean you need to set the id of
the customer in the form to have it fetched from the database and updated
instead of being instantiated.
<s:form beanclass="${actionBean.class}">
<s:hidden name="customer"/>
...
The trick is to add the hidden field with the name of the bean you need to
edit.
