Karl,
I might be way off base here, but my opinion is that you can't use forms
when displaying an unknown quantity of data. (Or if you can, it is
easier not to). Forms represent one set of data. I have yet to read of
struts having a form collection (and I'm new so if there is one, let me
know!) to handle this scenario. What I've done to solve this issue is
to create some custom iteration tags that handle a vector. Within this
tag, I specify the vector's name. In my action class I retrieve the
vector, and set it in the page context (either request, or if necessary,
session scope).
This has worked quite nicely for me. Not everything HAS to be in a form
object.
