hi again,

According to what Dave explains then my recommendation does not apply. Maybe you should check what values you are initializing the User DTO model to, maybe some of the fields are initialized as null or maybe you think you are updating but Struts is actually creating a new DTO object.

regards,
Giovanni

Hi,

I'm just getting back into Struts after a few years away from web
programming.  I've got a question about methods for updating only
certain members of an object.

I've got a struts action that creates, updates and deletes a User
object. When updating though, I have two different jsp pages that
update only part of the object (user information on one, and password
on the other).  Unexpectedly (at least to me), Struts sets the members
of the User object not on the form to null.  I'd expected it to only
update the members specifically tied to controls on the form and
assume no change for any members of User *not* in the form.

Is there a way to only update those members of the object represented
on the form?  Do I *need* to use some DTO to do this?  Or split my
User object up into User and Password objects?

thanks,

Bobby
