If you have your properties stored in a List() of
whatever-data-object-i-need-in-the-form-of-a-bean, you need to set the
values of the individual items in the list.  The following works for me (but
I had to make the form session scoped instead of request to make it work)

I've been struggling with a problem similar to the one described (and
solved) at
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg50901.html .
Is this really the recommended way to solve population / repopulation of
properties stored in a List() of
whatever-data-object-i-need-in-the-form-of-a-bean ? Is there a better way to
acheive the same result ? (I.e represent a collection in a form)

I've read that a practice often used to represent collections (a DB-table
for intstance) is to make a bean that has getters / setters for the
properties of a single row and then have the ActionForm contain a List() of
those beans. One for every row  (in the DB-example). That far I can follow,
and see how / why. But is there no better way to update the values in the
ActionForm (beans) when the data is submitted than in the URL above ?
