Description

Hi guys,

I am not sure if this is a problem but this does happen intermetently in the
system we implemented for a bank.

For some unknown reason, a programmer wrote some forms like this:

<html:form name="FormName" action="/formAction" type="FormClass">
<html:hidden property="action"/>
......

Then sometimes the following exception will be triggered unpredicatably in the
pages, making the page unable to be displayed at client side:

2004-08-25 15:27:15,175 [jcp-210] ERROR abc - Unknown error:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method for property action of bean
org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN
at org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.lookup(RequestUtils.java:517)
at org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BaseFieldTag.doStartTag
(BaseFieldTag.java:188)

I have observed this in various pages and I investigated and believed this may
not be the problem of the pages; the only possible cause is that we have some
hidden field also called "action" in the form, making it with the same name of
the form action property. But I am not sure if this is the cause as it only
happens now and then (although quite a headache). Please try to see if this is
the problem of the struts library or it is the problem of our program... and
thank you very much.
