Actionform backed by Map for use in Struts-Faces

[Karsten Krieg]

Hi List!

I'm using an Map-based Actionform for generating a number of input fields
based on the result of a database query. The actionform is implemented as
follows

public class MapForm extends ActionForm {

    private Map values = new HashMap();

    public void setValue(String key, Object value) {
        getValues().put(key, value);
    }

    public Object getValue(String key) {
        return getValues().get(key);
    }

    public Map getValues() {
        return values;
    }
}

I've used this map with the following html:text tag with an iteration over
another map named "keys" using the result "field. This map "keys" contains
the relevant map entries for input.

<c:forEach var="field" items="${state.attributes.keys}">
<html:text property="<%= "value(" +
((de.intarsys.efselect.util.AbstractFieldDescription)
pageContext.findAttribute("field")).getName() + ")" %>"/>
</c:forEach>

This works fine within Struts. However, I'm now migrating to JSF and
Struts-Faces integration library. I'd use the following construct:

<h:inputText id="<%= "value(" +
((de.intarsys.efselect.util.AbstractFieldDescription)
pageContext.findAttribute("field")).getName() + ")" %>"/>

This does not work, because the id attribute does not accept any
expressions. Any ideas how to solve this?



Thanks
