I don't understand why you need ActionForms embedded in your main
ActionForm - don't these "sub forms" just need to be some sort of DynaBeans
rather than ActionForm?
If you want to use the "Lazy" versions, then just make it your main
ActionForm:
<form-bean name="SampleMain" dynamic="true"
type="lib.framework.util.LazyValidatorForm"/>
Then in your jsp
<html:text property="subForm1[${status.index}].property1" size="5" />
<html:text property="subForm1[${status.index}].property2" size="5" />
Should populate an ArrayList of LazyDynaBeans containing property1 and
property2

Subject: RE: Creating an indexed property of DynaActionForms
I tried replacing the <form-property name="subForm1" type="SubForm[]"/>
with:
<form-property name="subForm1" type="com.mysite.LazyValidatorForm[]"/>
And I get the following when I hit the submit button on my form:

Use the lazyValidatorActionForm, which allows you to keep things request
scope when using arrays.
http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/
<form-bean name="SampleMain"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="subForm1" type="java.util.ArrayList"/>
<form-property name="subForm2" type="java.util.ArrayList"/>
</form-bean>
Unfortunately I haven't tried this, but am pretty sure it works.

Subject: Creating an indexed property of DynaActionForms
I'm trying to figure out how to define and use a DynaActionForm which
has an indexed property that is another DynaActionForm. I'm using
struts 1.1. Here is something like what I mean:
First my sample struts-config.xml
----------------------------------
<form-bean name="SubForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="property1"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="property2"
type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
<form-bean name="SampleMain"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="subForm1" type="SubForm[]"/>
<form-property name="subForm2" type="SubForm[]"/>
</form-bean>
And the JSP:
------------------
<table>
<c:forEach var="subForm1" items="${SampleMain.map.subForm1}"
varStatus="status">
<tr>
<td><html:text
property="subForm1[${status.index}].property1" size="5" />
<td><html:text
property="subForm1[${status.index}].property2" size="5" />
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
Unfortunately this doesn't work. If I try making the subtypes SubForm[]
like above, I get a NullPointer exception when I try to start the
server, when struts tries to create the DynaForm classes.
If I make the property type Object[], I can successfully populate the
form, but when I try to save it, I get an ArrayOutOfBounds error when
struts tries to create the initial DynaForms (Obviously because it has
no idea what type of form to create, I think).
How do I make this work?
Also, once I start implementing validation on this form, is it going to
be possible to use struts validation to validate the subitems?
Thanks,
Nathan
