Hi,
I think you need do something like:
<html:form method="post" action="/your_form_mapping">
<html:text property="details.name"/>
<html:text property="details.reference"/>
</html:form>
There is no need to declare the bean or name it in your text fields.
The ActionForm seems to be okay.
Hope that helps
Phillip Chan

hi clair,
in my case i use
nested:root (must address a bean with "name") OR nested:form
only in cases like i told you...
if a bean refereces to a nested
e.g.:
person --> address
nested:text is derived from html:text
for a situation of
<nested:nest property"address">
<nested:text property="street"/>
...
it calls: address.setStreet();
cheers!

yeah i'm pretty familiar with nested tags having used them in situations
where I have objects nested within objects within my form e.g. to render
a tree structure. I thought it was a replacement for logic tags in these
sort of situations and have never considered using them elsewhere.
this works now thanks Matthias!
quick one though: what is the difference between nested & logic tags and
nested & html tags and in which situations would you choose to use
nested not the others?
cheers
claire :)
