I am able to get copyProperties to work with BeanUtils and PropertyUtils using version 1.5 of commons beanutils.
1. i am using DynaValidatorForm. 2. i have a BeanInfoClass for my bean providing the PropertyDescriptors. try replacing the commons-beanutils.jar with the latest version(1.5) of commons beanutils. i have one more issue, has anybody succesfully combined Validator Framework, Dynamic Forms and LookupDispatchAction . I am using DynaValidatorForm, but my form us not validated even if have validate="true" in my action mapping. validation of DynaValidatorForm worked fine before using LookupDispatchAction. -rana. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Topping [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 8:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: PropertyUtils.copyProperties() usage in 1.1-b2 > > > > On Fri, 15 Nov 2002, Brian Topping wrote: > > > Date: Fri, 15 Nov 2002 12:10:53 -0800 (PST) > > From: Brian Topping <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Reply-To: Struts Users Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: PropertyUtils.copyProperties() usage in 1.1-b2 > > > > Hi all, happy friday (again... :) > > > > I'm trying to figure out what I am doing wrong with > > PropertyUtils.copyProperties().

The version I'm looking at, 1.32 (i.e. the current > nightly builds), does not call getPropertyDescriptors() on a DynaBean. I was using 1.30, but the code I was looking at seems to be the same on both 1.32 and 1.30. > > I don't think nested properties are the answer, and copyProperties() is > > supposed to work with DynaBean in the source, destination, both or > > neither. > > > > Any ideas?

I guess it sounds like a local issue, since you probably would have recognized if I had been doing something silly :) I'll keep looking, it just doesn't seem to be doing an instanceof on the dest bean anywhere in the call chain to see if it should treat the DynaBean differently. > > > Thanks a bunch, > > > > Brian > > Craig thanks again, -b -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
