I'm not really sure in understand you problem but in order for "property(key)" to work, you need to have the following methods on your form bean:
public Object getProperty(String key) public void setProperty(String key, Object value) These methods typically store your property values in a map of some sort. For example, if you had the following on your form bean: public Object getAddress(String key) public void setAddress(String key, Object value) you would be able to use "address(personal)" and "address(office)". Hope this helps, Fr. -----Original Message----- From: Maciej Kolodziej [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 January 2002 15:53 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Problem with mapped properties Hi, I'm building an application, which uses database as a source for configuration data. For example I have a page which enables users to customize their personal UI schema, like which columns they want to see in search result. Now that means, that I have to build dynamic html forms and use mapped properties to populate action forms. Also property attributes in form tags (like <html:text property="...") need to be set dynamically with values taken from db. I tried to do it like that: <% String key = "this is taken from database" %> <html:text property="property(<%=key%>)"/> but that doesn't work. I guess I don't have to mention, that using another jsp tag instead of <%=key%> doesn't work either. It just appears in html output as ordinary text - it's not parsed while converting .jsp to .java. I noticed, that these are the brackets that cause this malfunction. If I write: <html:text property="<%=key%>"/> everything works fine. -- Best regards, Maciej -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ************************************************************************ The information in this email is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee(s).
