|Hi,
Sorry if you receive this twice. I didn't see this mail for more than 4 hours
after sending it.
I have a Form bean backed by a Map.
I want to capture the responses of the input fields in the jsp in to this Map.
When the selected values results into Array(String[]) in case of Multiselect only the first
value in the array gets in to this map as a value. This is the case with radio buttons fields having same names.
My action form bean is a copy of the bean given in struts document.
public FooForm extends ActionForm {
private final Map values = new HashMap();
public void setValue(String key, Object value) {
values.put(key, value);
}
public Object getValue(String key) {
return values.get(key);
}
}
Here is the JSP fragment
<html-el:select multiple="true" property="value('5')">
<html-el:option value="one">ONE</html-el:option>
<html-el:option value="two">TWO</html-el:option>
</html-el:select>
When the JPS page is rendered i am able to see the value
as ONE and TWO for my multiselect. Now in the UI when i select ONE and TWO,
only one value that is the first one in index zero is part
of the map.
I debugged it and found that this is handled by ||setProperty(Object bean,
String name, Object value)|| in bean util class
I have cut and pasted the code at the end of mail for quick reference and using that as context to explain the problem.
||
The obtained descriptor is|| instanceof MappedPropertyDescriptor.|
|Look for the comments HERE>>> - From this point all idenfitcation for setting
up the value takes place.
At this point the type.isArray fails, the obtained value is: type =
java.lang.Object<T> (The return type for getValue)
||value = String["ONE", "TWO"] - This comes out fine.
The code skips condition : HERE>>>1 and goes through HERE>>>3
I am not sure whether my coding of form bean is wrong or if the
jsp is wrong, i thought i could generically add objects in to the map.
||||||
||I am working with dynamic form fields, which can be of any type,
(html radio,checkbox, input, multiselect), hence i thought i can
get it resolved using map based ActionForms, but the problem is
that only the first item in the array gets into the map. Can anyone let
me know what the mistake is?
Using struts 1.2.4
Note : I tried with the latest version of bean utils and
the bean utils that comes with 1.2.4.
Any pointers will be higly appreciated. Kindly cc to me:
