The class specified by the type attribute in your form bean must be a concrete implementation of org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm (as the signature of the Action.execute method indicates).
You can create your own implementation of ActionForm backed by a LazyDynaBean, or try org.apache.struts.validator.LazyValidatorForm. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: Yanroy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2006 12:39 PM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: how do I use a LazyDynaBean as an ActionForm? Hi, You may recall I posted a message similar to this one several days ago. I never received a reply, so I'm hoping that this shorter (and hopefully simpler) version will get one. I'm using a LazyDynaBean as the form associated with a strut, which the docs seem to say will work by being wrapped inside some other kind of ActionForm. I haven't found any examples online of exactly how to do this (none contain struts-config.xml, strut and JSP all from the same app). I'll give you a couple lines from my struts-config.xml: <form-bean name="AnalysisForm" type="org.apache.commons.beanutils.LazyDynaBean"> <form-property name="runnableTables" type="java.lang.Integer" initial="1" /> </form-bean> I also specify some array fields in that bean, but I edited that out for the sake of brevity. I also have my action: <action path="/AnalysisConfig" name="AnalysisForm" type="org.assistment.apps.newReporting.analysis.struts.AnalysisConfig" scope="request" parameter="method"> </action> The real problem here is that I have no idea how to get the data out of the LazyDynaBean. In my action strut, the form parameter passed to the handler is null. To me, this indicates some kind of misconfiguration, but I can't see what it could be. I'd greatly appreciate any help you can give... this problem is completely holding up my work (it's the last part of the webapp I'm making).
