You can manually create the property or use nested beans. sandeep

On my jsp page I have the following, inside of and html:form tag. <logic:iterate id="simple" name="formBean" property="aaa.list" type="SimpleBean"> <html:text name="simple" property="value" indexed="true"/> </logic:iterate> The html that gets generated by this has text inputs named simple[0].value, simple[1].value etc.. When this is submitted it's trying to set these indexed values directly on the formBean rather than on the proper inner bean's list. i.e. BeanUtils.populate(formBean, {simple[0].value=123, simple[1]=456}) I'm thinking of addint a getSimple(int index) method to my form bean to return the indexed element from aaa.list but this seems like somewhat of a hack. It seems that the html:text tag needs some way of generating inputs with a prefix to the specified name, in my case aaa.list so that the inputs are named "aaa.list.simple[0].value" etc. Is there a better way to handle situations like this, or does my form bean need to be less structured to work properly?
