Thanks for the quick responses. The two responses I got were
basically the same so I tried it. The problem is now I get:
binding: ExpressionBinding[EditApp appInfo.name]
location: context:/WEB-INF/EditApp.page, line 41, column 58
ognl.OgnlException
source is null for getProperty(null, "name")
So I am still a bit stuck on what I should do.
