Thanks for responding. The signature of a typical accessor is public final
String getPatientFirstName() and the linkBean accessor is: public String
getArg1(). The value returned by this get is a primitive int, a primary key
value defined as a primitive - ah, that's the problem. I NEED TO CHANGE THE
SIGNATURE TO RETURN AN OBJECT IE; AN Integer.
I'm going to give that a try.
Thanks for your help and I'll let you know what the outcome is.
