Well ... I got it to work ... but I am not sure why it did not work before. BTW, I am using Struts 1.0.
To fix the problem, instead of using the 'define' tag to make the property available ... I used it to make the whole form bean available as follows: <bean:define id="tmpRegForm" name="editRegForm" type="com.mirant.extranet.forms.PendingRegistrationForm"/> <mir:getLocalDate date="<%=tmpRegForm.getPostDate()%>" style="long"/> I do not know why this works but the other way (using the define tag to get the property) failed. -----Original Message----- From: Siggelkow, Bill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 11:33 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Problem with bean:define? I am using the bean:define tag to make a variable available ... he's the wierd part ... it works the "first time" I enter the form ... but if I return to the form because of a validation error ... it fails with a NullPointerException in the pageContext.setAttribute method ... it seems to me the second time around it is not finding the value for some reason ... any ideas?
