Looks like using nested tags helps only if I don't have lists/sub-lists i.e. the object heirarchy is object->sub-object->sub-sub-object->property
<nested:root name="object"> <nested:iterate property="sub-object" type=".."> <tr><td> <nested:iterate property="sub-sub-object" type =".."> <nested:textarea property="property"/> </nested:iterate> </td></tr> </nested:iterate> </nested:root> Any thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: Deshmukh, Prabodh (P.) Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 1:41 PM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: Lists within lists issue Hi, I have an object that contains a list of sub-objects. These sub-objects hold another list (say sub-list) )of sub-sub-objects: object->list->sub-object->sub-list->sub-sub-object->property. I am displaying various properties of the sub-sub-object - which can be changed by the user - I want struts to fire the appropriate setters when these properties are changed. Here is how the jsp loop looks like: <logic:iterate name="object" property="list" id="sub-object" type=".."> <tr><td> <logic:iterate name="sub-object" property="sub-list" id="sub-sub-object" type =".."> <html:textarea name="sub-sub-object" property="property" indexed="true"/> </logic:iterate> </td></tr> </logic:iterate> I am able to display the "property" of the "sub-sub-object" - but when the user changes the above text area, sub-sub-object.property - doesn't get updated. The html comes out as: <tr><td> <textarea name="sub-sub-object[0].property"> </textarea> </td></tr> <tr><td> <textarea name="sub-sub-object[1].property"> </textarea> </td></tr> ... I want the html to be like: <tr><td> <textarea name="sub-object[0].sub-sub-object[0].property"> </textarea> </td></tr> <tr><td> <textarea name="sub-object[0].sub-sub-object[1].property"> </textarea> </td></tr> ... <tr><td> <textarea name="sub-object[1].sub-sub-object[0].property"> </textarea> </td></tr> <tr><td> <textarea name="sub-object[1].sub-sub-object[1].property"> </textarea> </td></tr> ... This will enable struts to fire appropriate object setters. Constraints: struts1.1 without struts-el tag library. Any idea of how I can accomplish this? I will appreciate any responses.
