You didn't attach the action source code, but I guess you are not instantiating the Map before the ParameterInterceptor is executed. I can think of 3 choices to do that:
1) instantiate the Map in the same place you declare the instance variable: Map<String, List<Object> textMap = new HashMap<String, List<Object>(); 2) instantiate the Map inside a prepare method (the action must implement Preparable interface) public void prepare() { textMap = new HashMap<String, List<Object>(); } 3) get the (not null) instance from another place inside in the Map getter & setter, for example, from session scope: public Map<String, List<Object> getTextMap() { return (Map<String, List<Object>) sessionMap.get("themap"); } HTH 2010/1/7 satyanarayana katta <saty.pra...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > Struts Version - 2.1.7 > > We have an issue with the Map<String, List<Object>>.
