Re: setting beans from a form into a collection.

[Rick Reumann]

I don't think you want to use indexed properties for this. If you used 
indexed properties you need to have set/get methods to handle them. In 
your case you should removed the indexed stuff and the whole list should 
submit and populate for you.

Hi all,
    I am having an issue with marshalling a page's collection indexes
back into the form object.
I have a BillingForm object with multiple BlllingListItem beans.  Here
is an excerpt of my BillingForm object
public class BillingForm extends AnnuityForm {
private List billingList;
public List getBillingList() {
        return billingList;
}
public void setBillingList(List list) {
        billingList = list;
}
...
}
my BillingListItem bean object
public class BillingListItem extends EntityRoleListItem{
        private long billToID;
        private long entityID;
        private long appEntityRoleID;
        private boolean billTo;
        private String entityRoleType;
        private String startDate;
        private String stopDate;
        private String name;
        private AddressForm address;
... setters and getters ....
}

And my JSP snippet
<logic:notEmpty name="billingForm" property="billingList">
                                        <logic:iterate name="billingForm" 
property="billingList" id="item">
                                                <tr>
                                                        <html:hidden name="item" 
property="billToID" indexed="true" />
                                                        <html:hidden name="item" 
property="entityID" indexed="true" />
                                                        <html:hidden name="item" 
property="appEntityRoleID"
                                                                indexed="true" 
/>
							<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle"><html:checkbox
								name="item" property="billTo" tabindex="20" /></td>
							<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle"><bean:write
								name="item" property="entityRoleType" />&nbsp;</td>
							<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle">
							
								<html:text
								name="item" property="startDate" size="10"
								onkeypress="return formatDate(event, this);" indexed="true" />
							</td>
							<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle">
								<html:text
								name="item" property="stopDate" size="10"
								onkeypress="return formatDate(event, this);" indexed="true" />
								</td>
							<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle"><bean:write
								name="item" property="name" />&nbsp;</td>
							<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle"><bean:write
								name="item" property="address.addressLine1" /> <logic:notEmpty
								name="item" property="address.addressLine2">
								<br>
								<bean:write name="item" property="address.addressLine2" />
							</logic:notEmpty> &nbsp;</td>
							<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle"><logic:notEmpty
								name="item" property="address.city">
								<bean:write name="item" property="address.city" />,
				</logic:notEmpty> <bean:write name="item" property="address.state" />
							<bean:write name="item" property="address.postalCode" /> <logic:notEmpty
								name="item" property="address.postalCode4">
					- 
					<bean:write name="item" property="address.postalCode4" />
							</logic:notEmpty> &nbsp;</td>
						</tr>
					</logic:iterate>

                                </logic:notEmpty>
As you can see, I've added the index generation, and the html is
correct.  If I fill in dates and check the checkboxes, the collection
is not populated with BillingListItems.  Is there a way that I can do
this without using 3 String arrays?
Thanks,
Todd
