Struts nested:notEmpty tab

[John LeBaptiste]

I'm getting the following error message:

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method for property publications[0].publication.authors.lastName of bean report

It is saying there is no lastName getter method. The authors object is a List of:

public class PuidAuthor implements Serializable {
private String lastName;
private String firstName;
...

It has a method:

public String getLastName () {

Why is this getter method not being found or used by the code?

Thanks and God Bless you!

Hi John,
The Class seems Okay.
Can u give the code u are using in the JSP to get the value?

Thanks

Hi Soumya, I sent you a private IM with the JSP code snippet that you requested.

Hi John,
Try this.

<nested:iterate property="authors">
<li><nested:write property="order" ignore="true"/>
<nested:write property="lastName"/>, <nested:write property="firstName"/>
<nested:write property="initials" ignore="true"/></li>
</nested:iterate>

If it does not work, try using logic:iterate: this link might help u.

Thanks

Thanks Soumya! It really helped and the link is great too. The solution below got me pretty much what I wanted.

<nested:notEmpty property="publication.authors">
Authors:<ul>
<nested:iterate property="publication.authors">
<nested:notEmpty property="lastName">
<li><nested:write property="order" ignore="true"/>
<nested:write property="lastName"/>, <nested:write property="firstName"/>
<nested:write property="initials" ignore="true"/></li>
</nested:notEmpty>
</nested:iterate>
</ul>
</nested:notEmpty>
