Error no getter method for property BEAN

[Shankar Narayana]

Hi all,

I have a jsp page, which has a <html:text> field, for which I do not have a corressponding set/get method in the ActionForm and when i try to access this page I get the following error.

  
javax.servlet.ServletException: 
No getter method for property searchTxt of bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN

I know that if I declare this variable in the bean, the error would be solved but is there any other way of bypassing this?

Thanks

Shankar,
Technically speaking, you just need the get/set methods. The variable itself is to provide meaning to the form. Why don't you want the form field in your bean?

Hi Jeanne,

The text field in the form is used only to search in entries in the list box, I am only concerned with the list box value. I could solve this problem by replacing the text field tag with the corressponding html <input> tag.

Shankar,
You are correct that you don't need a Struts tag to accomplish your goal.
