Ok, the thing I don't understand now is how to setup the AddNewPhoneNumber jsp so that is uses the lazy list to create a new PhoneNumber instance bean.
I'm trying to use the nested taglib, but I don't really understand how to set the top level object to be a new instance out of the list. I've tried something like this: <nested:nest property="phoneNumbers"> <nested:text property="countryCode" /> <nested:text property="areadCode" /> <nested:text property="number" /> <nested:text property="description" /> </nested:nest> The thing I can't figure out is how you set the top-level object to be a new instance of the PhoneNumber bean (which should be created from the lazy list). I tried using <nested:nest property="phoneNumbers">, but that gives me an error stating "No getter for property phoneNumbers.countryCode of bean customerForm". I figure that is because the <nested:nest> sets the top-level object to be the List, and doesn't actually attempt to get an item out of the list (which would cause the lazy list factory to create a new PhoneNumber instance). How is this supposed to work? Am I on the right track at all? Anyone have a link to an example like what I'm trying to do? Thanks. Nate On Mon, 2003-09-08 at 11:41, Robert Taylor wrote: > Yep.
