I added the <nested:root/> tag i.e.,
<html:form action="/PriceQuote.do">
<nested:root name="priceQuoteForm">
<nested:nest property="firstLob">
<nested:iterate id="customer" property="customers"
type="com.example.domain.pricing.Customer">
<nested:text indexed="true" name="customer"
property="cost" styleClass="pq_currency"/>
</nested:iterate>
</nested:nest>
</nested:root>
</html:form>
It doesn't seem to have made any difference. I still get
"customer[0].cost" instead of "firstLob.customer[0].cost".
Is there something else I'm missing? Something I need to configure? Do
I need to upgrade from 1.3.5 to 1.3.8?

You need to set the form as the root nesting context.
I usually do this by wrapping the nested form content with
<nested:root name="myForm">
</nested:root>
In theory the nested taglib is supposed to override html:form to
automatically set the root node, but I haven't got that to work.

Subject: List of beans in a bean on a form
I'm using Struts 1.3.5 and have a problem with a nested field.
<html:form action="/PriceQuote.do">
<nested:nest property="firstLob">
<nested:iterate id="customer" property="customers"
type="com.example.domain.pricing.Customer">
<nested:text indexed="true" name="customer"
property="cost" styleClass="pq_currency"/>
</nested:iterate>
</nested:nest>
</html:form>
The <nested:text/> tag is outputting:
<input type="text" name="customer[0].cost" value="0.0"
class="pq_currency">
The problem is, the customers come from the customers collection on
the firstLob object, which is a java bean on the form bean.
Doesn't this need to be either "firstLob.customer[0].cost" in order
for the form bean to get
populated when I post it back? Right now, it isn't working. It
populates the form okay when generating the page, but just ignores the
customer fields (cost is just one of them) when I post it back.
I just switched to using nested tags. I was hoping that it would fix
it, but no such luck. Originally, I was using <logic:iterate/> and
<html:text/>, but that produced the same results. (After reading a
bit, I think I understand why; nested is just for convenience, right,
kind of like a "with" statement in certain languages?)
I suspect I'm thinking about this wrong, somehow. Maybe I need to be
putting nested form beans on my form bean, instead of plain ol' java
beans? Maybe I need a different syntax on my Struts tags, like
name="firstLob.customer" (that doesn't work, though)? Maybe I'm
trapped in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike?
Please help this newbie, any suggestions at all will be greatly
appreciated.
