Re: Help: and form input fields

[Mishkin Berteig]

How does your orderform bean look? What are the method signatures for the items property? Thanks, Mishkin.

The value field needs to be explicitly set to get the value from the bean. The changes I made to BeanUtils.java is.... I commented out this code inpublic static void populate(Object bean, String prefix, String suffix, HttpServletRequest request)     /* CK:             int subscript = stripped.lastIndexOf("[");             if (subscript >= 0)  // Remove subscript expression             stripped = stripped.substring(0, subscript);         CK:      */  This keeps the indexed part of the name And then in      public static void populate(Object bean, Hashtable properties)Added this code        // Check to see if the name is nested or indexed - then use PropertyUtils.setProperty      int indexed = name.lastIndexOf("[");      int nested = name.lastIndexOf(".");             if ((indexed >= 0) || (nested >= 0)) {   try {       PropertyUtils.setProperty( bean, name, Array.get(value, 0));   }   catch( java.lang.NoSuchMethodException e ) {   }         continue;      }  To handle the nested and indexed names by calling PropertyUtils.setProperty... Good luck,      -Chandan Kulkarni.
