Thanks to all that answered my first question. And, as an explanation when I said I waited 30 minutes, I meant I did not see my own message after having waited 30 minutes.
However, what is clear to me is that I did not provide enough information to generate a solution. In the forms bean section of my struts-config I have a bean defined: <form-bean name="ReviewAccountForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm"> <form-property name="member" type="com.eri.web.Member"/> </form-bean> My action form is of the type com.eri.web.struts.actions.dispatch.LookupDispatchAction and I have extended this with my class. I have properly configured a method of this to be called such that my member is filled and set in session with: request.getSession().setAttribute(AppConstants.LOGIN_SESSION_KEY, member); At the top of my form I display various portions of the member's properties. Which gets me to my select on my form which is defined as: <html:select property="member.startYear"> <html:optionsCollection property="member.displayYear" value="val" label="text"/> </html:select> Using console messages I have determined that the properties of member at the time displayYear is called are null, from which I conclude that a new member object has been constructed. Which is not my desire, I want it to use the existant member object. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
