No, I have never used struts-nested. The documentation says that the "indexed" property is only for use inside a logic:iterate tag. I'm not inside a logic iterate tag.
To put it as simply as possible. Page 1 has a link: <a href="page2.jsp?index=5"> (and I accept that this might be page2.do!! and page 2 needs to do <html:text name="beanwithlist[ index ]" property="name" /> geddit? index is a property generated according to the user selection on the previous page. This is what I need to index the data by. The second page would be a simple, basic edit form but for the fact that I have no idea how to reference the bean it uses because it is part of a linked list in some other bean with a dynamic reference.
