Problem with Refresh + when doing refresh, not invoking action

[vara prasad]

I am using nested:iterate tag in my struts application. when i am doing certain action, the action is invoked properly. But when i am doing the refresh for the same page, its throwing the following exceptions.

The application invoking the reset method of the form bean, but it is not further invoking the action.

I have the Form bean with array.

The exception is : ----

When you're using indexed properties and your ActionForm is in request scope, you must provide "lazy initialization" behavior in your getters in order to avoid this problem. For more information, read this article.
