Hi all, I am using the display tag for a paged and sortable table in a struts based application. The data source comes from a collection.
On my pages I use the struts html:multibox tag and its value is set to the position in the collection that is the object used to generate the specific row. When submitted I can use this value to work on the object in the collection that corresponds to the users selection. However in my table I also have for each row an html:select tag which allows the user to select something for each row in the table (this must have a default value, so the user could just check some of the checkboxes and click submit). This is where my problem starts. If there were 10 rows on a table and the user selected 3 checkboxes my array in the form bean would be 3 in length for the checkboxes but the array for the select submission would be 10 in length. How I match the correct checkbox submission to the correct select submission is my problem? Any ideas would be welcome? I can solve it for just one page. I write a scriptlet with an int counter and every time the display tag writes a row I add 1. I put this inside the multibox tag and submit both this value and the collection location value. E.g. the values each multibox would submit would be positionInCollection+IntCounterWhereinTable for example 2+4. I can then parse this String and use the IntCounterWhereinTable to match the correct position in the array submitted from the select drop downs, thus I know which value from the drop down would correspond to each of the checkboxes. This solution doesn't work when I go to page 2 though or resort, as the counter is not reset to 0. If after every navigate on the table (e.g. sort and change of page) I could reset this int counter in the jsp page to 0 and then number each of the rows again from 0 this would be fine. But I'm not sure how to do this? I cannot use javascript. I'm finding this a very irritating problem so if anyone could please help me - I would be very grateful. Here's hoping.
