Thanks for the lengthy example, but there is one part that I am completly
lost on. I thought that the following occurred:
Click link to open page, formbean is reset aciton poppulates formbean jsp
retrieves values from the formbean. User sees the screen prepopulated.
User modifies the information and clicks on submit. The bean is again reset
the action is called to put information in the formbean (this is the part I
have no data) the jsp then pulls the data from the formbean.
What is the purpose of the System.out.println that you have at the end of
your action ?
thanks again,
Adam

Hi Adam,
Use the sample code as requested by you.
You can ask me any help with nested Tags and from advanced struts
*JSP*
<nested:notEmpty name="ProdSelectionForm" property="results">
<nested:iterate name="ProdSelectionForm" property="results"
id="Result" type="com.test.javabeans.TestObject">
<tr>
<td> <nested:text name="Result" property="description" />
</td>
</tr>
</nested:iterate>
</nested:notEmpty>
*ActionForm*
**
public class ProdSelectionForm extends ActionForm
{
Collection arlResults=null; //can be arrayalist
/**
* @return Returns the arlResults.
*/
public Collection getResults() {
return arlResults;
}
/**
* @param arlResultsThe arlResultsto set.
*/
public void setResults(Collection arlResults) {
this.arlResults= arlResults;
}
/**
*
* toString representation of object
* @return An instance of StringBuffer with Struts Action Form
properties
*
*/
public String toString() {
StringBuffer sbTemp = new StringBuffer();
sbTemp.append("{");
sbTemp.append("arlResults=" );
sbTemp.append(arlResults);
sbTemp.append("}");
return sbTemp.toString();
}//end of toString
}//end Actionform
*TestObject Java Bean*
import java.io.Serializable;
public class TestObject implements Serializable
String description =null;
int numProducts =0;
/**
* @return Returns the description.
*/
public String getDescription() {
return description;
}
/**
* @param description The description to set.
*/
public void setDescription(String description) {
this.description = description;
}
/**
* @return Returns the numProducts.
*/
public int getNumProducts() {
return numProducts;
}
/**
* @param numProducts The numProducts to set.
*/
public void setNumProducts(int numProducts) {
this.numProducts = numProducts;
}
}//end object
**
*Action Class (loading the page)*
**
**
ProdSelectionForm prodSelectionForm= (ProdSelectionForm) form;
com.test.javabeans.TestObject obj1=new com.test.javabeans.TestObject ();
obj1.setDescription("desc1");
obj1.setNumProducts (1);
com.test.javabeans.TestObject obj2=new com.test.javabeans.TestObject ();
obj1.setDescription("desc2");
obj1.setNumProducts (2);
ArrayList arlResults=new ArrayList ();
arlResults.add(obj1);
arlResults.add(obj2);
prodSelectionForm.setResults(arlResults);
*Action Class (Submitting the page)*
When you submit the page just print the actionform you wouyld see the
updated results of description ,numproducts in action
ProdSelectionForm prodSelectionForm= (ProdSelectionForm) form;
System.out.println("prodSelectionForm="+prodSelectionForm);

If you might be able to provide a sample I would be very greatful.
As it stands I have come up with the following :
changing the JSP to :
<logic:notEmpty name="ProdSelectionForm" property="results">
<logic:iterate name="ProdSelectionForm" property="results"
id="Result">
<tr>
<td> <html:text name="Result" property="description"
indexed="true" /> </td>
</tr>
</logic:iterate>
</logic:notEmpty>
Result seemed more natural as it is a single element of the results.
All I want to be able to do is pull 3 things out of an object, display
them in a scope of request, and allow the user to update the list and submit
the form and have the changes be picked up - who would have thought that
would be so incredibly complex ?
*Note* The part that leads me to believe it's a misunderstanding of the
tags involved is that I can get a single textfield to work perfectly, with
all the requirements (other than it being an object with multiple
properties).
