Hello fred,
Thanks for the reply, so just for clarifiation, if I am using a
property which will be "indexed" then the getters and setters will be a
little different from the usual set and get
Ie
public String getBidAmount(int index) {
return bidAmount[index];
}
And
public void setBidAmount(int index, String val) {
bidAmount[index] = val;
}
And have to implement the bidAmoutn as an array?
Protected String[] bidAmount;
Do confirm if igot that right?
Thanks once again for ur time.

Subject: Re: Indexed properties help!
Rajat,
Here is an example of an indexed property called 'signal' (in my
application it holds complex objects, not simple strings or integers):
public OrderedSignalBean getSignal(int index) {
while( index >= this.getSignals().size() ){
this.getSignals().add(new OrderedSignalBean());
}
return (OrderedSignalBean) this.getSignals().get(index);
}
public void setSignal(int index, OrderedSignalBean signal) {
while ( index >= signals.size() ){
signals.add(new OrderedSignalBean());
}
signals.set(index, signal);
}
The 'signals' member is private and is of type 'ArrayList'. It is
created in the form's contructor and the reset method of the form :
signals = new ArrayList().
The setter and getter methods of the indexed property perform so-clled
"lazy-initialization" so you do not have to worry about the siez of the
array list.
Hope this helps.
Fred
