Hello Struts-World.
Here's a Struts Newbie query I've got. I really like being able to associate a FormBean with a Struts form and then doing the validation etc. at the server end. I understand about having to have attributes in the FormBean that match the names of the input elements in the HTML form. However, I cannot think of a way of creating a FormBean that can cope with a form that has entirely dynamically generated output. For example, one that creates a list of items in a shopping cart where every item has an associated "delete" checkbox. I can ensure that each checkbox has a similar name, (I'm using the name to indicate the cart item to which it relates rather than the value at the moment) but how can I map these to attributes in the Form bean? At design-time I will not know how many attributes I need to supply, or what their full names will be. If I use the same name for each checkbox (i.e. all map to the same FormBean attribute) and hold the cart item ID in the value how will I be able to store the different values? I'm sure that there's a good "Struts way" to do this but I cannot see one at the moment. Can anyone out there enlighten me? Many thanks. Neil. P.S. I'm currently using Struts 1.0.1 and would prefer to stay that way until I get the current iteration of the project out of the way. ________________________________________ Neil Axtell Principal Engineer (MMI/Web Technologies) ANRITSU LIMITED European Measurement Division - Engineering 200 Capability Green Luton, UK Tel: +44 (0) 1582 433347 Fax: +44 (0) 1582 433276 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------- This email message, together with any attachments, is for the exclusive and confidential use of the addressee(s).
