I have a custom tag that I'm trying to pass a String to. It was giving me a NullPointerException. After making some edits suggested below, I am getting ${note} instead of the processed output I had intended. Can anyone help me with this? Here is the relevant code from the JSP. I'm using Struts 2 in my form, and I've marked the line where I'm calling my custom tag. <pre><code><s:iterator value="bulletins"> <s:if test="approved == false"> <s:form action="ApproveBulletin" method="post"> <table border="2" width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan="2">From: <s:property value="name" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">Subject: <s:property value="subject" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">Date: <s:property value="date" /> </td> </tr> <tr>  <td colspan="2"><t:notePrint note="%{note}" /> <s:hidden name="id" value="%{id}" /></td><s:hidden name="id" value="%{id}" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><s:submit type="button" name="approve" value="Approve" /></td> <td><s:submit type="button" name="deny" value="Deny" /></td> </tr> </table> </s:form> </s:if> </s:iterator> </code></pre> Here is my tld. <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <!DOCTYPE taglib PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JSP Tag Library 1.2//EN" "http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtd/web-jsptaglibrary_1_2.dtd"> <taglib> <tlib-version>1.0</tlib-version> <jsp-version>1.1</jsp-version> <short-name>NotePrintTag</short-name> <uri>notePrintTag</uri> <tag> <name>notePrint</name> <tag-class>tags.NotePrint</tag-class> <body-content>scriptless</body-content> <attribute> <name>note</name> </attribute> </tag> </taglib> </code></pre> Here is my tag. The NullPointerException actually shows up here, and I've marked the line. <pre><code>public class NotePrint extends SimpleTagSupport { private String note; public void setNote(String note) { this.note = note; } public String getNote() { return note; } public void doTag() throws JspException, IOException { PageContext pageContext = (PageContext) getJspContext(); JspWriter out = pageContext.getOut(); ActionContext.getContext().getValueStack().findValue(note); String[] noteArray = note.split("\n"); for (int i = 0; i < noteArray.length; i++) { out.println(noteArray[i] + " "); } } } </code></pre> Here is my exception report. <pre><code>java.lang.NullPointerException tags.NotePrint.doTag(NotePrint.java:24)

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
