setting a complex component field in a flow object from one state to another

[stacey11]

I have a compound object being populated by a form:

public class Thing {
private Another another;
public void setAnother(Another a) ....
....
}

I am trying to use a flow triggered by a form link to enter a series of states and select the "another" from the results of a search. The search displays results in a list with links that pass an identifier to an Action that gets the object from the backend. All works to that points, but then when I try to get the compound object from the conversation context by the name in the "commandName" attribute on the form in the Action execute() method, null is always returned. What am I missing?

Can you post the code for the Action? And surrounding flow definition snippets?
