Form bean

["Amir N. Nashat" <an...@CJ.COM>]

I am using a form bean for a page called X. Page X has about 6 html elements of which 2 are hidden. Now when this page first renders do the values get initialized from the bean or from the values I explicitly obtain from some business objects I use on the page? The reason I ask is because a weird situation had occurred where I was not passing in one of the values in the query string and I got a 'can not find getter method for element a for Page X'. I just want to know if a page that uses a form bean calls it to not only validate information but to also obtain the initial values for the form elements. Is this true?
 
 
TIA

Normally the fields are first initialized with the values of the form bean.
Because of this you have to have
for each used field in your form a getter method in the form bean. Otherwise
you
get this error message.

The page calls the form bean to obtain the initial values from this form
