All, I am having problems with the ActionForm's "getServlet" method and "servlet" attribute. I have created a class called "BaseForm" which simply extends ActionForm. When I attempt to get a reference to the ActionServlet using the "getServlet" method or "servlet" attribute, I receive a null pointer exception. I found a post on a similar problem (below). Is this behavior still a bug? I am also trying to get a reference to the ServeltContext.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii The ActionServletWrapper class was provided as a security patch. As such, it takes the stances that we should start by shutting everything down, and then open things up as needed. Off-hand, wanting to access servlet initialization parameters in validate() sounds like a reasonable use-case. If you want to post a patch to bugzilla, I'll see if we can do something about a 1.0.3 release. -- Ted Husted, Husted dot Com, Fairport NY US -- Developing Java Web Applications with Struts -- Tel: +1 585 737-3463 -- Web: http://husted.com/about/services Geoffrey Corb wrote: > > I have been attempting to update a project from Struts 1.0 to 1.0.2 to > resolve some file upload problems.
