Hi there, I'd like to create an application scope bean for easy table row coloring (tomcat 5.5.9, struts 1.2.7, using struts EL).
<jsp:useBean id="rows" scope="application" class="RowBean"/> ... <logic:iterate id="book" name="booklist" indexId="i"> <tr class="${rows[i]}"> ... Where the RowBean is meant as a virtual list returning the proper css class for each row index. But my subclassing does not work: public class RowBean extends java.util.Vector<String> { public String get( int idx ) { return idx % 2 == 0 ? "even" : "odd"; } } I get the following error: javax.servlet.jsp.el.ELException: Unable to find a value for "0" in object of class "RowBean" using operator "[]" org.apache.commons.el.Logger.logError(Logger.java:481) org.apache.commons.el.Logger.logError(Logger.java:498) org.apache.commons.el.Logger.logError(Logger.java:611) org.apache.commons.el.ArraySuffix.evaluate(ArraySuffix.java:340) ... This would mean that my rowbean is not "instanceof List"?! What am I doing wrong? Is there a different, more elegant way for this task? (I cannot use JSF).
