Shane
Sorry for all the confusion and please bear with me..
How do I get Struts to repopulate multiple elements with all with the
same property? this is my exact problem..
Let me give u my .jsp page example (Initiall the table will have one
row)
<TABLE id="mytable">
<TR>
<TD>
<html:select property="sex">
<html:option value="MALE">Male</html:option>
<html:option value="FEMALE">Female</html:option>
</html:select>
</TD>
<td><html:text property="firstName" /></td>
</tr>
</TABLE>
I have a Javascript which adds rows to the table on click of a button.
So if user has enetered five rows of data then How do I get Struts to
repopulate the table?
Hope i am clear.
Thanks

Then the original question from the start and asked 3 times in an hour
because it wasn't answered should have been a one liner:
How do I get Struts to repopulate multiple elements with all with the
same
property? Or something like that.
>From your question you say you have a (single) table with a (single)
html:text and a (single) html:select. Now you show the code and it is a
more clear that you don't have what you mentioned. You should have
posted a
code example in the first place. It would save time.
Now, what doesn't make sense is the same key for the bean:message. This
is
because I have an interesting solution I am thinking about but if I knew
the
real way you intend to use the tags believe I could help better.
I can't picture the need for this on a form:
Name [ ]
Name [ ]
Name [ ]
Then if you say, it is really key="du.theName1" and the next one is
"du.theName2" then that wouldn't be truly dynamic.

Subject: RE: How to repopulate Form which has html elementswithsamename
Thanks for the sample and I have that working. But my issues is slightly
different where there are Multiple HTML elements with the same name
Eg: <bean:message key="du.theName" /><html:text property="name" />
<bean:message key="du.theName" /><html:text property="name" />
<bean:message key="du.theName" /><html:text property="name" />
<bean:message key="du.theName" /><html:text property="name" />
Then in this case how do u repopulate the page.
Thanks

Here, no more asking about it. The code is very close but not tested.
So if
it isn't 100% right do some leg work for gosh sakes.
form.jsp:
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
<!-- I wonder if you are not putting the above line in your JSP??? -->
<html:form action="/test.do" >
<bean:message key="du.theName" /><html:text property="name" />
<bean:message key="du.whatever" /><html:text property="whatever" />
</html:form>
ActionForm class:
package my.package;
class MyForm extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm
{
private String name;
private String whatever;
public void setName(String name){ this.name=name; }
public String getName(){ return this.name; }
public void setWhatever(String whatever){ this.whatever=whatever; }
public String getWhatever(){ return this.whatever; }
public String whatThe(){ return "Look at documentation closer!!!"; }
//Define the validate method or use the struts validator. Since you
//a newbie which likes to repost and repost you should not use
//validator at this point in time, please
}
Action class:
package my.package;
class MyAction extends org.apache.struts.action.Action
{
//do stuff in the execute method
}
struts-config:
<form-bean name="aForm"
type="my.package.MyForm">
</form-bean>
<action path="/showform"
type="my.package.MyAction"
name="aForm"
input="form.jsp"
validate="true"
scope="request">
<forward name="display" path="form.jsp"/>
<forward name="blah" path="crap.jsp"/>
</action>

Do u have any working sample so that I can build from there

Repopulating Fields.
I keep hearing that this is a freebie in struts but i have note seen it
work
on
my app yet. i just stuff what i want to repopulate with in the session
(for
now).
It would be nice if someone could post what "setup write" IS. so we
can
check
if we have something set up "WRONG".
After all, WSAD 5 came with struts preloaded so how can it be setup
wrong?
