html:text property problem

[Mohan Radhakrishnan <Mo...@hclcomnet.co.in>]

Hi,

      I am trying to use the following

<bean:define id="startdate" name="form" property='<%= "date[" + 0 + "]"
%>'/>

to set the property in a html:text box. The property is of type String[]. So
I am using the above indexed property access method.

<html:text property="date" value="<%=date.toString()%>"></html:text>

I have also put the following check in my form.

    public String getStartDateIndexed( int index ) {
		if( startDate_ == null ){
			startDate_ = new String[]{ new
DateUtility().getCurrentDate() };
		}
	return startDate_[ index ];
    }

along with pre-population of the html:text boxes. Inspite of all this
sometimes the following exception is thrown.

  Anybody see any chinks in the armour above. What more error checks does it
need ? Is it the right way with Struts 1.0 ?

java.lang.NullPointerException
