I am doing something similar. Our forms are 100% dynamic. The contents on them is not know in advance to write all the setters and getters. The form is generated based on the user and some database values.
I am using <logic:iterate> to create the forms. If you iterate on a Map you can pass a key (name) and value (contents of text box). I am experimenting with passing a bean down to offer more flexibility. On the submit site, my .validate() method then manually parses the request object back into the Map. The Action class then manipulates the Map.

The number of checkbox is varying and so are their names. How to assign their values to the Form Bean property? Currently I've been using a normal "input" html form tag like follows. <input type="checkbox" name="chk_<%= I %>"> and in the Action Class I'm using the request object to go through all the form elements using getParameterNames and finding out the checkboxes and getting the "checked" row. Can some one through light on how to go about doing the same using the Struts frame work. --Shashi. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
