The bean that I am working with is NOT an ActionForm - just a POJO - I don't think this should matter. I see that the "getter" method is getting called correctly by checking my System.out statements. However, when I submit the form, the "setter" method does not execute. I get no error message. Any ideas?
The only bean population Struts does is upon the the ActionForm object linked to the request action (via the action-mapping 'name' attribute).
It would be possible to use Commons BeanUtils and request.getParameterMap() to achieve what you want, but you'd need to write your own code to do it. Since ActionForm is a class, not an interface, there's no way in the current Struts framework to have Struts automatically populate a non-ActionForm bean.
Using the "name" attribute on an html:* tag is purely for populating the contents of the form element on display; it has nothing to do with the processing of the request.
Hope this helps.
