...I think I stopped at the right place in the subject. I have a map of beans, the beans have a list of other different beans. I'm struggling to make this work with the auto-type conversions (various errors depending on how I set things up; currently getting an NPE, have gotten many other spectacularly long-winded stack traces).
I'm wondering if this is doable or if I should just create accessors in my Action to get to this lists directly, or if there is some MyAction-conversion.properties magic I can do to make it all work. My current MyAction-conversion.properties file looks, more or less, like this: Key_exDataMap=java.lang.Long Element_exDataMap=foo.ExData Element_list1=foo.model.TheData CreateIfNull_list1=true In the JSP: <s:textfield name="exDataMap[%{#exData.id}].list1[0].field1" /> So I have exDataMap = Map<Long, ExData> ExData has list1 = List<TheData> TheData has Long field1 Now I know the _list1 stuff is nested within the map, but something else I did several months ago led me to believe that it worked (but I might have solved that some other way; I no longer recall).
