Martin,
Ideally I would like Struts html tags (text, checkbox, hidden etc.) to
automatically generate the "name" with the subscript if its embedded in an
IterateTag so that iterated beans are automatically updated by Struts.
For example:
<logic:iterate id="list" name="formExample" property="beanArray">
<tr><td><html:text name="list" property="desc"/></td>
</logic:iterate>
generates:
<input type="text" name="beanArray[0].desc" value=".."/>
<input type="text" name="beanArray[1].desc" value=".."/>
<input type="text" name="beanArray[2].desc" value=".."/> etc. etc.
I realise you can do this with the indexId scripting variable, but this is
simpler. I raised it before (prior to indexId and getIndex method) in the
following messages:
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg05231.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg00975.html
What do you think?
