You need at least one nested parent tag on the top page with the <html:form>
tag. This will allow the nested tags to put their parent reference into the
request object, from which the nested tags in the included page can pick it
up.
eg:
<html:form action="/Time/SaveTimesheet" styleId="GridForm">
<nested:property property="someProperty">
<jsp:include page="TimesheetGrid1View.jsp" />
</nested:property>
</html:form>
...and no, you can't use "./" or "this/", but can be a "fake" property (a
named property which just returns a reference to the same bean).
If there's already a nested level like this, then it's a case of versioning.
What version of Struts are you using?...
