Can you provide more details? When you are dealing with forms, the basic types are either String or booleans. Perhaps what you want to do is best handled in your Action that processes the form. It sounds like you need to make an object available in let's say the request scope and then have that object be used along with the form in the Action. The thing is forms were meant to work with user input -- it may prove difficult to try and use it in a different fashion.

I need to write a complex object into the property of my bean! Does anybody know how I can do that without using java? Thanks, Tobias ------------------------------------------------------------- You could use a hidden field with the value equal to the value of the scripting variable .. <html:hidden name="personalplanungEditForm" property="someProperty" value=' <%=theScriptingVariable%>'/> -----Original Message----- From: Tobias Flohre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 10:10 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: How to set formbean properties without asking the user Hello, I have a probably very simple question: I have a form like this: <html:form action="/personalplanungEditShow" name="personalplanungEditForm" type="PersonalplanungEditForm"> <td class="mitteoben"><html:image src="images/icons/editsmall.gif" property ="editieren<%=index.intValue()%>" alt="Editieren" /></td> </html:form> I want to set a property of personalplanungEditForm to a value that is stored in a scripting variable. How can I do this without using any java code? Does a tag exist for doing that? Thank you in advance!
