Multi Row updates, nested or not are used often.
Here is an working example:

You can check the nested multi row bean in source as well.

I have a problem that I'm sure is quite common.  However, I have not seen
any decent examples
of how this might be implemented using Struts, so any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.

The problem is this:  I have an order detail page that has a list of line
items with editable data
inside each line item.  The user is allowed to select which product they're
ordering and what quantity
of that product per line item.

I can figure out how to create an ActionForm bean that is able to convey the
values to the JSP
using a collection of line item beans inside the ActionForm.  And, I can
figure out how to code
the JSP to output the values into the form elements using the
<logic:iterate> tag.

However, what I'm having trouble with is submitting the values back to the
Action.  How can
Struts repopulate the collection inside the ActionForm?  Or, if I should not
be using a collection
to represent the line items, how else should I do it?  In the case of not
using a collection to
represent the line items, how do I get Struts taglib to populate the form
elements in the JSP?

I've attached a gif file that depicts the prototype of the screen I'm
talking about, for those of you
who are visual thinkers.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!
