S1 Quirk with html tag

[Zoran Avtarovski <zo...@sparecreative.com>]

Yesterday I had to go back and update some changes to struts 1 app we
developed and are maintaining.

It¹s been a while since I¹ve done any struts1 work but it was urgent and
resources are thin in the lead up to xmas.

Anyway, my question is that I have two identical forms with identical
configuration, but one works fine if the form elements don¹t have a name
attribute and the other doesn¹t.To illustrate one form works with the
following tag:

<html:text property="title"/>

But the second form only works when a name attribute is included:

<html:text name="galleryForm" property="title"/>

I¹d appreciate any insight into why this happens, as it caused me about 8
hours extra work, frustration and a little less hair leading up to the
holidays.

This retrieves the property "title" off the Struts form bean.

This retrieves the property "title" off the bean named "galleryForm".
The default (without @name) is the Struts form bean.

For future reference, add this to your toolbox:
