关于Exception occurred during processing request: The given object has a null identifier

问题：

The given object has a null identifier:cn.pethome.category.domain.Category

今天遇到关于请求过程中出现的空值问题Exception occurred during processing request: The given object has a null identifier
最后发现是我设置隐藏字段的时候忘了设置name属性，name属性是提交过程中中必须要设置的字段：

<form
        action="${pageContext.request.contextPath }/adminCategory_updateCategory.action"
        method="post">
        <input type="hidden"  name="cid"
            value="<s:property value="model.cid"/>" />
//后面的代码省略
