DynaValidatorActionForm Setting Properties

[Pat Quinn]

I have an Action to prepare a JSP view which uses a DynaValidatorActionForm. 
When i try to set a Form property i get a NullPointerException my source is 
as follows:

-----------------
Struts-Config.xml
-----------------
<form-bean name="MyForm" 
type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaValidatorActionForm">
  <form-property name="myTestTO" type="com.mycompany.to.myTestTO"/>
</form-bean>

<action path="/viewTest"
        type="com.mycompany.actions.myTestAction"
       scope="request"
        input="my-tile-view"
       name="MyForm"
       validate="false">
       <forward name="success" path="success-tile"/>
</action>


--------------
VALIDATION.xml
--------------
<form-validation>
  <formset>
     <form name="MyForm">
        <field property="myTestTO.name"
                   depends="required,minlength">
                    <var>
                      <var-name>minlength</var-name>
                      <var-value>10</var-value>
                    </var>
        </field>
     </form>
  </formset>
</form-validation>



--------------------------------------------------------------
ACTION SOURCE CODE (i.e. com.mycompany.actions.myTestAction)
--------------------------------------------------------------
DynaValidatorActionForm  myForm = new DynaValidatorActionForm();

myForm.set("myTestTO", new myTestTO()); /* THROWS NullPointerException 
Here!!!!*/

pRequest.setAttribute("MyForm", myForm );

I've also tried casting the inbound ActionForm to DynaValidatorActionForm 
but i still get the same error when i invoke the set method.



Any Ideas?
