Iterating a collection: changing values of object-attributes

Thu, 30 Aug 2007 06:57:16 -0700

Hi there!

I'm new to struts and need some help, hope anybody has a clue:
I've got an object "DayTimeLocation" with strings day, time and location.

In my form I create a collection with initially one of these objects (more to 
follow):

public class DayTimeLocationForm extends ActionForm{
    Collection<DayTimeLocation> dtlCollection;

    public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
        dayTimeLocation dtl = new dayTimeLocation("Monday", "08:00", 
"University");
        Collection<dayTimeLocation> dtlTempCollection = new 
ArrayList<DayTimeLocation>();
        dtlTempCollection.add(dtl);
        this.dtlCollection = dtlTempCollection;
    }

    public Collection<DayTimeLocation> getDtlCollection() {
        return dtlCollection;
    }

    public void setDtlCollection(Collection<DayTimeLocation> dtlCollection) {
        this.dtlCollection = dtlCollection;
    }
}

Now the jsp with a selectlist and textfields for changing the attributes of the objects in that collection:

<logic:iterate id="dtl" name="DayTimeLocationFormBN" property="dtlCollection">
               <html:select name="dtl" property="day" size="1" indexed="true">
                       <html:option value="Monday">Monday</html:option>
                       <html:option value="Tuesday">Tuesday</html:option>
                       <html:option value="Wednesday">Wednesday</html:option>
                       <html:option value="Thursday">Thursday</html:option>
                       <html:option value="Friday">Friday</html:option>
                       <html:option value="Saturday">Saturday</html:option>
                       <html:option value="Sunday">Sunday</html:option>
               </html:select>
               <html:text name="dtl" property="time" size="5" maxlength="5" 
indexed="true"/>
               <html:text name="dtl" property="location" size="10" maxlength="10" 
indexed="true"/></br>
</logic:iterate>

First this seemed to work, because the fields of the page contain the values 
declared in the reset-method.
But after changing the values on the page and committing them to the action, it 
gets the old values (from reset) and not the new ones.
The struts-config etc. is not the problem, other things work fine. Where is my 
mistake?
Thank you in advance!

Arno
