Hello, I have been using struts for a bit now, and I am trying to see if the following situation is possible.
In a merchant checkout situation, I would like to be able to create a bean that has nested beans inside. Eg: This will be a shopping cart checkout, and I have the need for an overall bean to keep track of which section they are on, as well as creating "Billing" and "Shipping" beans nested inside this bean. I know from a programmatic side that this is possible, but the problem begins with validation and form presentation. Each page currently has a bean associated with the action, and on the receiving page I use the html:text, etc. tags, and I always have to make sure the proprties are in the bean. But when dealing with a bean with a nested bean I do not know how to call the html:element? <html:text property="overallbean.nestedbean.property" /> And if I have one bean associated with many actions, and I have different validator.DynaValidatorForm objects, how do I validate nested beans? In a overall scenario, I would like to be able to create one large bean associated with many actions and have the ability to use the html:elements and do validation all within the one large bean, validating and using nested bean elements? I have googled around, but do not see anyways to accomplish this short of a wizard approach, which I am trying to avoid. Thanks, Scott
