Thank you for your response. According to my understanding of your advice, if I want to pass a hidden field from JSP to a form bean, I must have name="myFormName" in the JSP's <html:hidden .... > tag? Please confirm.
Another additional property that is to be assigned a value in my form bean is "now" with Timestamp type. Do I code this way in my form bean class? Please confirm: pubic Timestamp getNow() { return DateUtil.getCurrentGMTTimestamp(): } -Caroline --- David Erickson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > However, I have to supply a number of additional > > properties for the business tier to process.
