Thank you, Kishore. That sounds like what is happening, but I lacked the in-depth knowledge of how Struts works to figure it out. This helps me understand a lot. I will try the LazyDynaBean[] method.

So, once the validator gets to see the properties to validate they are initialized to their corresponding primitive defaults (0.0f etc) and so the validation is successful. You could just use Strings as all your properties or have a new bean (a LazyDynaBean for eg) referenced from your form like so <form-property name="deviceMsmnts" type=" org.apache.commons.beanutils.LazyDynaBean[]"/> and using BeanUtils.copyProperties() you could convert each LazyDynaBean individually to the corresponding DTO in the action class before business processing. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
