updating with

[August Detlefsen <au...@yahoo.com>]

I realize that the spec says:

   If a request parameter has an empty or null value, the 
   corresponding bean property is not set. 

But, is there a way to make this work for updates when you actually
want to remove a value from the bean? 

Lets say I have a contact manager app and I want to delete a value from
a field (for example, my colleague no longer has a phone extension). I
delete the value from the form and submit to a page that uses:

   <jsp:setProperty name="mybean" property="*" />

Since the phone extension field is now empty or null, that new value
never gets passed to my bean. 

Does anyone have a way around this short of setting each property
individually? 

Thanks,
August
