I have a mapping to a date column in a MySQL DB. I am submitting a form using struts 2 and every time I try to update the object in the DB I get this error :

ognl.OgnlException: source is null for getProperty(null, "employee")
at ognl.OgnlRuntime.getProperty(OgnlRuntime.java:1638)
at ognl.ASTProperty.getValueBody(ASTProperty.java:92)
at ognl.SimpleNode.evaluateGetValueBody(SimpleNode.java:170)
at ognl.SimpleNode.getValue(SimpleNode.java:210)
at ognl.ASTChain.setValueBody(ASTChain.java:168)

The date in the struts 2 form looks like this : 2010-01-05

It is a Date java object in the form bean.

The update does not appear to have taken place. However if I restart my tomcat server and view the form the update will now be in place.

I have done some tests and have set the Date as a new Date() just before the update line in my DAO. result is the same.

I am using MySQL 5.1.41 on Linux. and Hibernate 3.

Any ideas???

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I think in the "employee" field there's an errors, are you sure this field had the right value, do you set this field is " not null"? Check and give me the datails.
