Cant find getter method on formbean

[O. Ziggy]

Hi guys,

I am new here hope someone can help.

I have written a form using jsp, struts 1.2 but i seem to be having some problems linking the form bean with the actual form. i get the following error.

SEVERE: ServletException in '/pages/trader/createTrader.jsp': No getter method for property Name of bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN
javax.servlet.ServletException: No getter method for property Name of bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN

i know this is usually caused by spelling errors i have spent the last two hours looking for the error but cant find it. Hopefully someone here can help

my jsp page looks like something like this

 
 
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" language="java"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean"%>
<%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html"%>
 
<html:form action="/createNewTraderPost">
<table width='100%' border='0'>
<tr class='list-row'>
<td width="150"><a class="formRef">Reference *</a></td>
<td><html:text property="UserRef" /></td>
</tr>
 

and the form bean looks something like this

 
 
package com.btcsi.WebFHL.presentation.forms.trader;
 
import org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm;
 
public class NewTraderForm extends ActionForm {
 
    private String User_id="";
    private String UserRef="";
    private String Name="";
    private String Street="" ;
 
     public String getUserRef() {
return UserRef;
}
 
public void setUserRef(String userRef) {
UserRef = userRef;
}
 

and the servlet looks somthing like this

 
 
public ActionForward midAction(ActionMapping actionMapping,
ActionForm actionForm, HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) {
NewTraderForm form = (NewTraderForm)actionForm;
try{
            log.debug(" Attempting to Create New Trader");
        
            this.createTrader(form,
            getUser(request).getUserID(), form.getUserRef(), form.getName(),
            form.getStreet(), form.getPlace(), form.getState(), form.getCountry(),
            form.getPostCode(), form.getContactId1(), form.getContactNo1(), form.getContactId2(), form.getContactNo2());
            
 
 

i didnt display most of the code but only the necessary bits. Hopefully someone can see something im not seeing..

I seem to have fixed the problem by simple renaming the properties of the objects in the jsp form.

How come this seem to have worked even though the name in the jsp starts with a lower case whereby the name in the actual formbean starts with an uppercase letter?
