Hi,

DynaValidatorForm use a Map to keep its value to my understanding. I am not 
sure BeanUtils.copyProperties would work on this secnario. i may be wrong :)

Thanks,

Hi, I am trying to use BeanUtils.copyProperties(dest, source) to
automatically populate my model bean from the struts form bean. But it seems
the values are not getting copied. I am able to access the value from
ActioForm in Struts Action but post BeanUtils.copyProperties I am not able
access the values from the Value object.

This is my struts-config (partly) :

<form-beans> <form-bean name="CreditCardEntryForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm"> <form-property name="cardtype" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="nameasoncard" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="cardno" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="expmonth" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="expyear" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="suiteno" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="state" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="streetadd" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="zipno" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="city" type="java.lang.String"/> <form-property name="country" type="java.lang.String"/>

                </form-bean>
   </form-beans>

This is my Struts Action : .....

.....
import org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils;
import com.pgwrapper.model.CreditCardVO;

public final class CreditCardDataAction extends Action

{
        public ActionForward execute( ActionMapping mapping,
                                                                  ActionForm
form,

HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response

                                                                 )
                                                                 throws
IOException //,  ServletException
        {

final Category logger =

Category.getInstance(com.pgwrapper.handler.CreditCardDataAction.class);

.....

.....

DynaValidatorForm creditCardForm = (DynaValidatorForm) form; CreditCardVO creditCard = new CreditCardVO(); try

                {
                        BeanUtils.copyProperties(creditCard,
creditCardForm);
                }
                catch (IllegalAccessException e)
                {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }
                catch (InvocationTargetException e)
                {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                }

This is my Value Object (partly) : public class CreditCardVO implements java.io.Serializable

{

final Category logger = Category.getInstance (com.pgwrapper.model.CreditCardVO.class); private String cardtype;

        private String nameasoncard;
        private String cardno;
        private String expmonth;
        private String expyear;
        private String suiteno;
        private String state;
        private String streetadd;
        private String zipno;
        private String city;
        private String country;

public CreditCardVO()

        {
        }

public String getCardtype()

        {
                return this.cardtype;
        }
        public void setCardtype(String cardtype)
        {
                this.cardtype = cardtype;
        }
....
....
other setter and getter methods ....


Pls suggest

Thanks Sasanka
