But I set up iterationLength as a HashMap; I thought BeanUtils could
handle maps, so it'd do getIterationLength.get("time"). Perhaps I'm
mixing up BeanUtils and JSTL semantics.

Nested properties with DynaActionForms actually require you to nest
objects. :) Using a property name like "iterationLength.time" would
be like saying "getIterationLength().getTime()", and this is what
BeanUtils would try to do.

I'm using DynaActionForms in my Struts app and I'd like to be able to
reference a property like this:
<html:text property="iterationLength.time"/>
I tried a form declaration like this:
<form name="...">
<form-property name="iterationLength.time" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form>
but I get an error during request processing that 'iterationLength' is
not a valid property. So then I tried:
<form name="...">
<form-property name="prop1" type="java.util.HashMap"/>
</form>
Struts appears to be trying to cope with this:
DEBUG [http8080-Processor24] org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils -
setProperty(DynaActionForm[dynaClass=ProjectEdit,startDate=,owner=,mode=,description=,iterationLength={},endDate=,status=,name=,doSave=],
iterationLength.time, [1])
DEBUG [http8080-Processor24] org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils -
Target bean = {}
DEBUG [http8080-Processor24] org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils -
Target name = time
So it's getting the empty map as the target bean on which to set a
property 'time'. But when I fetch the map from the form in my action,
it's empty.
Is there a way to do this? The reason I want to be able to write the
property as "iterationLength.time", rather than collapsing it to
'iterationLengthTime' or something is for consistency with when I'm
accesing the same property in other beans which aren't dynamically
generated.
Thanks,
L.
