Hi,
I am trying to use checkboxes for the selection of elements in an iterate
tag. I believe that I have a few problems with this. Given the following
structure:
============================================
<struts:form action="confirmAddressMapDelete.do" name="SelectedEntriesForm"
type="work.addressMap.SelectedEntriesForm">
<struts:hidden property="action"/>
<table border="1" width="100%">
<struts:iterate id="addressMapEntry" name="AddressMapResultSet">
<tr>
<td align="left">
<struts:checkbox name="addressMapEntry" property="selected"/>
</td>
<td align="center">
<struts:htmlProperty name="addressMapEntry" property="id"/>
</td>
</tr>
</struts:iterate>
</table>
<struts:submit>
<struts:message key="button.delete"/>
</struts:submit>
<struts:submit>
<struts:message key="button.reassociate"/>
</struts:submit>
</struts:form>
===========================================
1) How can I make sure that each checkbox tag is unique. If they are driven
from the same collection (AddressMapResultSet here), it also implies that
the same property will be used?? (or am I wrong about this?)
2) Even if I find a way to make the checkbox name unique, what would be the
best way to place this information in a form...given that the property name
must have a getter and setter method.
3) Is there a standard approach on how to deal with the HTML checkbox setter
problem. I have seen several messages about different methods on how to
handle these but I am wondering if there is one that will make its way in
the struts development.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Martin
