HTML paramter and its getter name

["Yao, Guang" <Gu...@teamtki.com>]

Hi,

I have the following parameter defined in a JSP page using <html:hidden>
tag:

<html:hidden property="CompanyID"/>

In its correpsonding ActionForm class, there is a getter for it which name
is "getCompanyID()".

However, Struts can not find this getter:
javax.servlet.ServletException: No getter method for property CompanyID of
bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN
If I change "CompanyID" to "companyID", then problem is fixed. Can anybody
tell me why? What is the right getter name for a parameter which starts with
upper case letter?
Thanks,
- Guang

That is correct behavior.  You MUST use property="companyID"
and the getter method for it would be "getCompanyID()"

As I just recently found out :-) you should use a capital letter
*only* when followed by another capital letter.  For example, if you
had a "getAAA()" defined in your JavaBean, you'd use property="AAA",
but if you had "getAaA()", you'd use property="aaA".
