Suppose you could save the reference to the request in a member variable during the reset() method and refer to it in your setter, but thats distinctly 'inelegant'. Unless your in a big hurry Id say go with doing the stuff in the action itself. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 2 June 2003 19:42 To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: [Nested] Order of Population of nested properties Yeh. There is no gaurantee on the order of population. :-( If you must do your thing in the setter then you can use request.getPara... hmm oops! no you cant. You dont have access to the request object there! If its not a multipart form you could do it in the reset() method and use request.getParameter() to obtain the values you need but I wouldnt normally recommend that (unless of course you had _already_ created the new rows and fields on the client side using javascript DOM programming - in which case you need to create those beans before population occurs!) I had to do something similar in my app (simple add rows on submit (no client side funny business)) so I put the relevant code in the Action that I was submitting to - which simply checks if the "addMoreStuff" property was set and adds the necessary rows before forwarding back to the view - (or takes other action if it wasnt). -----Original Message----- From: Affan Qureshi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 2 June 2003 19:35 To: struts-user Subject: [Nested] Order of Population of nested properties Hi, I have an implementation just like the monkey-tree example where I have a button to add more fields in a form dynamically. The button is a Submit button which is mapped to a nested bean's property. By default the the button adds one set of nested (recursively) fields. I want it to add user-defined no of rows. For that I have a text field mapped to another property of the same nested bean. I get that value and add the specified no of rows. It works fine but sometimes I get the following problem. Sometimes properties are populated before the other which causes great confusion. E.g if the 'noOfFieldsToAdd' property is populated after the 'addMoreFields' (the button) property I wont get the correct output. Also I see that some properties are populated twice instead of once which is also a bit confusing. Is there any order in which the fields are populated? Can i control this? Or maybe I am using it in the wrong way? Thanks a lot.
