Dynamically sized form using dynavalidator

[Jim Kennedy]

I have defined a form that will grow dynamically at runtime.  The problem
I'm having is that the values entered in the form do not save.  The form
pre-populated just fine.  I have an action that delivers the form and
another action that processes the form.

Here's the strutsconfig:

                <form-bean name="shoppingCartForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
                        <form-property name="cart"
type="com.je.common.ShoppingCartItem[]"/>        
                </form-bean>


        <action         path="/propmgmt/viewcart"
        
type="com.je.struts.action.pm.ViewCartAction"
                                name="shoppingCartForm"
                                scope="session"
                                input=""
                                validate="false">
                <forward name="viewcart"
path="/tmpl_propmgmt2.jsp?pageleft=/propmgmt/leftmenu.jsp&amp;pagecenter=/pr
opmgmt/viewcart.jsp&amp;pagetitle=home.title.key" />
        </action>
        
        <action         path="/propmgmt/checkout"
        
type="com.je.struts.action.pm.CheckOutAction"
                                name="shoppingCartForm"
                                scope="session"
                                input=""
                                validate="false">
                <forward name="checkoutform"
path="/tmpl_propmgmt2.jsp?pageleft=/propmgmt/leftmenu.jsp&amp;pagecenter=/pr
opmgmt/checkout.jsp&amp;pagetitle=home.title.key" />
        </action>


=========================
Here's the JSP:

<html:form action="/propmgmt/checkout.exe" method="post" scope="session">
        <table border="0" width="96%" class="listings">
                <tr><th>Shopping Cart Items</th><th>Price</th><th>Length of
Ad</th><th>Item Total</th></tr>
                <c:forEach var="item" items="${cartitems}">
        <tr>
                <td><c:out value="${item.id}" /></td>                
            <td><html:text name="item" indexed="true" property="unitPrice"
size="6" /></td>                
            <td><html:text name="item" indexed="true"
property="quantity"/></td>
            <%--<td><html:text name="total" value="" size="7"/></td>--%>
        </tr>
                </c:forEach>
        </table>
        
        <html:submit value="Proceed to Checkout-->"/>
</html:form>


Like I said, the form prepopulates but when I enter new values I don't see
them in the "checkout" action. The original entered values aren't getting
overwritten.

=======================================
Here's what the gen'd HTML looks like:

<form name="shoppingCartForm" method="post"
action="/rentworx/propmgmt/checkout.exe">
        <table border="0" width="96%" class="listings">
                <tr><th>Shopping Cart Items</th><th>Price</th><th>Length of
Ad</th><th>Item Total</th></tr>
        <tr>
                <td>2702wes8172</td>                
            <td><input type="text" name="item[0].unitPrice" size="6"
value="9.95"></td>                
            <td><input type="text" name="item[0].quantity" value="1"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td>30712iv8164</td>                
            <td><input type="text" name="item[1].unitPrice" size="6"
value="9.95"></td>                
            <td><input type="text" name="item[1].quantity" value="1"></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td>665brya8155</td>                
            <td><input type="text" name="item[2].unitPrice" size="6"
value="9.95"></td>                
            <td><input type="text" name="item[2].quantity" value="1"></td>
        </tr>
        </table>
        <input type="submit" value="Proceed to Checkout-->">
</form>
