Laurie: I need to get the value of the text field from the feature bean, not just the feature bean itself.
So, I had the change your code to: <logic:iterate name="admin.editClubForm" property="features" id="feature" indexId="i"> <html:textarea property="features[${i}].text" value="${feature.text}" rows="3" cols="75"/> </logic:iterate> And it worked perfectly.
