Are the ActionForm and the class that populates the thing in the same package?
I guess not if BeanUtils does the actual work.
This raises an interesting point concerning utilizing packages built by other
people. Something like BeanUtils is fairly low level, so if we integrate it
into our apps, rather than write it ourselves, we must accept some access
implications. Whereas if we wrote it ourselves we wouldn't have these
implications. This seems like some sort of profound object oriented design
lesson that I'm not up to ferreting out. If anyone has any easy insight, feel
free to share.

Subject: RE: Struts Form Population
I believe it is the get method.So if you're property is named testProperty then
you need a public StringgetTestProperty() and a public setTestProperty(String
szTestProperty).When the JSP page is displayed it calls getTestProperty to
populate thevalue. When the page is submitted it calls setTestProperty.I
believe if it is protected or private you will get an error that saysthere is
no property by that name in the form bean.Also if you are populating lists for
a drop down or some other reason youcan use a collection.public ArrayList
getStates(){ return Constants.states;}<html:options
collection="states"/>Shawn-----Original Message-----From: Paul Benedict

PROTECTED]: Struts Form PopulationWhen struts auto populates the form, does it
look for set methods? And doesit check that the methods are public? For
instance, if the "foo" parametercomes in and my setFoo method is protected or
private, will it ignore it? Paul
