Hi,
facing a similar issue I addressed it by having a form per record
instead of a form for the whole table.
Then everything becomes easier :) hereafter a code sample to illustrate.
<logic:iterate id="taskForm" indexId="taskFormIndex"
name='<%=TaskAction.TASK_FORM_LIST%>' scope="session">
<html:form action="/taskView2">
<tr>
<td>
<html:hidden name="taskForm" property="index">
<bean:write name="taskFormIndex" />
</html:hidden>
<html:hidden name="taskForm" property="id">
<bean:write name="taskForm" property="id"/>
</html:hidden>
<html:submit property="edit">
<bean:message key="button.edit"/>
</html:submit>
<html:submit property="delete">
<bean:message key="button.delete"/>
</html:submit>
<html:submit property="assign">
<bean:message key="button.assign"/>
</html:submit>
</td>
<td>
<bean:write name="taskForm" property="name"/>
</td>
<td>
<bean:write name="taskForm" property="projectId"/>
</td>
</tr>
</html:form>
</logic:iterate>
Each taskForm property represents :
1. Data corresponding to a database task record
taskForm.id property holds the primary key value of a task record.
2. Data useful for view control
taskForm.index property holds the index of the taskForm object in the
iterated Collection an ArrayList in this particular case.
Useful for editing the selected object without querying the database.
I hope it might help, Patrick
