Currently, we are a stateless application. So on each request we will read the database and get a list of products.
Then our JSP will generate a from a list of products. Each product will have an input that can accept the number of units per product. The problem I have is that each input field needs a different name. How can I map these different names back to a list on a ActionForm? Also, I don't really see how DynaForm helps this problem. --- Adam Hardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes you can have indexed properties & dynaforms.
