Description

There seems to be a bug in the <html:image> tag. I am trying to use it with
the tags-html-el tld, but it does not seem to effect it if I revert to tags-
html. I am also using the jstl core and format tag libs.

I have a form bean set up with a String property called submit that I expect
the value attribute of the image tag to be put into.

<html:image
pageKey="std.but.prev.src"
titleKey="std.but.prev"
value="prev"
property="submit"/>

However, when I click on this I get a exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No bean specified
at org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptor
(PropertyUtils.java:837)
at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.setProperty
(BeanUtils.java:934)
at org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils.populate(BeanUtils.java:808)

at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processPopulate
(RequestProcessor.java:821)
at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.process
(RequestProcessor.java:254)

I have not named a bean on the form tag, because the this works fine for all
the other elements. In fact if I change this to a <html:submit> tag this
works fine.

If I have both a <html:submit> tag and a <html:image> tag on the page and
click the submit button first (it return to the same action and JSP), the
image no longer throws the exception, However, the form bean still contains
the value from when the submit tag was clicked.
