Hi Oliver, I don't. If I have a value object in a form bean and I and only wish to alter a couple of its properties how can I do it. It would appear that Struts will set any fields not referenced to null. If a property of the valueObject returns a complex type ie a Map then I can't use the html:hidden work round I'm currently using; so I just have to except that I'll loose my map. Not very acceptable.

So if you miss some data this data is set to null cause the view represantion hasn't included the information -----Original Message----- From: Jon.Ridgway [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 02, 2002 4:42 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: BeanUtils/RequestUtils Populate question Hi All, I have a form bean that uses a value object. A specific form only access a couple of the value objects properties. I would expect those not accessed to be left alone upon form submittal. However I am finding that Struts (vi RequestUtils.populate) is setting those fields not referenced in the JSP to null. This doesn't seem right to me, am I missing something? Has anyone else experienced similar problems?
