Submitting nested properties.

I have my main bean defined like this

public class OuterBeanForm extends ValidatorActionForm {

private String caseKey;
private InnerBeanForm innerBean
public String getCaseKey() {
return caseKey;
}

public void setCaseKey(String caseKey) {
this.caseKey = caseKey;
}

public InnerBeanForm getInnerBean() {
return innerBean;
}

public void setInnerBean(InnerBeanForm innerBean) {
this.innerBean = innerBean;
}
}



My inner bean is like this

public class InnerBeanForm {

private String quantity;

public String getQuantity() {
return quantity;
}
public void setQuantity(String quantity) {
this.quantity = quantity;
}

}


My jsp has something like this
<html-el:text property="innerBean.quantity" name="OuterBeanForm" />

when the page is displayed it properly displays the value assigned to quantity property of InnerBeanForm

But when I submit the form , I keep getting below error

Try with a lower case - "outerBeanForm" in the html-el tag.

I tried. no luck. while loading the page. even if I remove name attribute, it works.

Please help me

I am sorry, I couldnt quite get it. You say it works without giving a name attribute?

when the page get loaded both of the following options do work.
one with name attribute and another without name attribute.
<html-el:text property="innerBean.quantity" name="OuterBeanForm" />
<html-el:text property="innerBean.quantity" />

but when I submit the form , I get error. So I thought that name is not realy causing problem but(I could be wrong) I am unable figure out why I am getting error.

I solved my problem. I needed to add this in my OuterBeanForm

public void reset(ActionMapping actionMapping, HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest)
{
innerBean=new InnerBeanForm();
innerBean.setQuantity("");
}
