I'm having a problem passing a set of checkbox values from an ActionForm to
our database. When I transfer the values of the String[] array, such as a
String[5] array, using BeanUtils.populate in my Action, the array gets
truncated and comes out as a single String value, actually a String[1].
What's up with that?!
Is BeanUtils.populate() able to work with String[] arrays? If so, is there
a known bug in my particular version? (How can I tell what version of
BeanUtils I'm working with? It's bundled with Struts 1.1 and I can't seem
to match the source code versions.)
If BeanUtils.populate is not able to work with String[] arrays, how do folks
deal with transferring checkbox-style data from a Web page, through an
ActionForm to a database?
To chase down this problem, I wrote a simple test case that pulls up one of
our Document objects, creates a DocumentForm (an ActionForm), populates it
from the document and sees if their "selectedUserGroups" values are
different. They are. Here's the gist of it:
Document document = new Document(cn, 10);
SearchForm searchForm = new SearchForm();
Map map = BeanUtils.describe(document);
BeanUtils.populate(searchForm, map);
At the first line, document contains a selectedUserGroups property that is a
String[] array with five values.
At the third line, map references a HashMap that contains a key for
selectedUserGroups that contains a String[] with one value.
How do I get all the values? Any help would be appreciated.
