Hi You will experience the same behaviour in Struts or any EL usage for that matter. Get used to it. From now on you know that if a variable returns blank, and there are now messages/exceptions, then it is null.

Its simply ignored and error or warning messages are generated, I have posted this problem few weeks ago, but couldn't get an answer. I was expecting a "NullPointerException" but none is thrown. -----Original Message----- From: Kostas Karadamoglou [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 6:59 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: Weird problems with outputtext tag I have found the problem the selectedCategory that try to evaluate is null But I don't get any error message Thanks for your attention [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Hi > >What is the name of the getter for selectedCategory ?
