Have included the relevant sections.
I realize it may take some effort to go through this.
Thanks in advance for all the effort.

1. I was the user on both occassions.(Was manually testing)
2. Did not hit it twice. (In any case tried to hit it twice later to
replicate error to no avail.)
3. The very same steps succeed every time except on those two occassions.
a. <html:form action="/casestudiesdetail" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<html:submit property="save" onclick="setAction('save')">
And some javascript that sets action to 'save'
b.
/********************************************/
else
if(action.equals("save"))
{
CaseStudiesDetailForm detailForm =(CaseStudiesDetailForm)form;
ActionErrors actErrors = detailForm.validate(mapping,req);
if(!actErrors.isEmpty())
{
saveErrors(req,actErrors);
return mapping.findForward("editPage");
}
CaseStudyService service = new CaseStudyService();
System.out.println("before calling the upload the file");
/********************************************/
Note: On these two occassions (only), ... "before calling the upload the
file" was not printed out in catalina.out
c. Exception handling (Unfortunately ... the exception thrown was a
NullPointer at: if(e.getMessage().startsWith("errors."))
The actual error was lost.
/********************************************/
catch(Exception e)
{
if(e.getMessage().startsWith("errors."))
{
errors1.add(ActionErrors.GLOBAL_ERROR,new
ActionError(e.getMessage()));
}
}
/********************************************/
d. catalina.out
Note that the pattern is repeated after 12 lines.
In the logs the only two times this happened were when this error
occured.
Hence the suspicion that the form values were set twice.

[WARN] RequestProcessor - -Unhandled Exception thrown: class

e. The only two ActionForm methods that print to stdout:
Got this from a friend :Rather than using nested, use a get before the
name of a bean that contains other beans within it and return the inner
bean. This has been working fine all along.
public RelatedOfferingsBean getRelOffId(int i)
{
System.out.println("in get related offerings"+i);
return (RelatedOfferingsBean)relatedOfferingsList.get(i);
}
public OtherCaseSectionBean getOtherSecId(int i)
{
System.out.println("in get other sections"+i);
return (OtherCaseSectionBean)otherSectionList.get(i);
}
