There are quite a few messages in the archive about this:

You have a choice - use scriptlets to generate an appropriate name with the
index of the row or create custom versions of struts tags which do it. We
choose the later.
Martin Cooper recently added and indexId scripting variable which can help
you with this - message in the archice about this is:

Also Dave Hay posted some updated Struts tags which generate the name
appropriately (havent looked at them myself):
