Thanks for that,
It would be nice if struts handled this scenario
automatically - you could specify a prefix/suffix for a property and all the
struts tags on a JSP that use the prefix/suffix in their property name will
be concatenated into an array and one call will be made to a set/get method
based on the prefix/suffix only. e.g.
<html:select property="arrayTest1" . .. />
<html:select property="arrayTest2 . . . />
Form Bean
getArrayTest(String[]); // the prefix is ArrayTest and the rest is
stripped off
setArrayTest(String[]);
I noticed the struts source does have a concept of a prefix/suffix for a
Http parameter but I am not sure what they are doing with it?
The solution of looping thru the Http parameter list will work but I would
like to keep my data collection in the form bean and not have to move it to
the action bean.
The get/set methods do not pass in the request object so I would have to
save the request in a member variable to access it in the setMethod() which
is not pretty.
We have a solution that uses javascript to loop thru the multiple HTML text,
select objects and copies the values to a hidden field as a delimited
string. When the page is submitted the setHiddenField() is called passing in
all the values as a concatenated string.
