Thanks a million Atta-ur!! Indexed properties worked! I tried using the struts nested tagblibs first, but couldnt get it to work with that, it seemed good only for display, but not retrieving objects into the actionform from the jsp page when submitting. Indexed properties definitely did the trick. I found the following links helpful:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg96800.html and http://www.sudsy.net/technology/struts-advanced.html All I did with my code was.... JSP snippet: ...... <logic:iterate id="site" name="OpportunitySitesForm" property="sitesList" > <tr> <td colspan="2"><html:text name="site" property="siteName" indexed="true" /></td> ....... ActionForm snippet: public SitesDTO getSite(int index) { return (SitesDTO) sitesList.get(index); } public void setSite(int index, SitesDTO site) { this.sitesList.add(index,site); } where "site" in the logic:iterate has a matching "site" SiteDTO object in the actionform. -Asif ----- Original Message ----- From: "atta-ur rehman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Asif Rahman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 5:14 PM Subject: Re: Struts alternative to using request.getParameterValues in an actionform? > Hellow Asif, > > "Indexed Properties" is exactly what you need here.
