Hi again .. I am quite new to struts .. hope someone will take time to go through my query which I am reposting ( if not I am gonna come back with a more catchy subject line !! ;-) )
Thankx in advance (again) Rajoy HI all I've encountered a situation as follows 1. I have a 'UserInfoContainer' form bean which contains a Vector of individual 'UserInfo' objects. 2. Each UserInfo object is iterated through using the 'iterate' tag in the JSP. 3. Some 'UserInfo' data (say 'NickName' ) is displayed in a text box so that the user can modify it. Every thing is going fine till now. The trouble is once I submit the form and retrieve the 'NickName' from each UserInfo object in the UserInfoContainer object passed to the perform method , it doesn't reflect the modifications user entered in the text box. Basicaly the data entered by the user isn't set back to each UserInfo object by the Action servlet. I've read in the struts docs that the iterate tag copies each object in the collection ( in my case the userinfo veactor) to a page scope bean referenced by the value of 'index' attribute. So I guess the values in the text boxes inside the iterate tag never gets set to the original objects in the FormBean. A. Is my understanding correct ? B. Am I doing somethimng wrong here ? C. Is there any way to tackle this problem? I am at present using lots of request.getParameter methods to get the values edited by the user. But it really does increaase dependency between the JSP pages and the action classes. SO I wonder whether that is the correct way to go even ... FYI : 'UserInfoContainer' is a session scope formbean.
