Hubert, your input is quite valuable. But I just wonder this suppose to be handled by Struts itsself,
You may also place a bean instance on your form, and use nested property references. For example, you might have a "customer" bean on your ActionForm, and then refer to the property "customer.name<http://customer.name>" in your presentation page. This would correspond to the methods customer.getName() and customer.setName(String Name) on your customer bean. See the Apache Struts Taglib Developer Guides for more about using the nested syntax. http://struts.apache.org/struts-core/userGuide/building_controller.html#action_form_classes Do you know whether this BeanDef works with Validator? Thanks.
