Instantiation of form bean

[Dave <no...@yahoo.com>]

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.

Try,

<html:select property="member.startYear">
     <html:optionsCollection name="member" property="displayYear" value="val" label="text"/>
</html:select>
