[Quaini Michele <mi...@fastweb.it>]

Hello we have switched to struts 0.5 and our application gives now the
following error:

This is the "offending" piece of code :


  public void configure() {

      FWItem[] confitem = retrieveConfigurationItem();

      if (confitem.length > 0) {
         try {
            cat.info(" Using: " + confitem[0]);
            PropertyUtils.copyProperties(this, confitem[0]);
            this.forceItemId();
         } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
         }
      }


Thanks in advance for any help
