In JSP make sure you add taglib directive <%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-nested" prefix="nested" %>
or <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-nested" prefix="nested" %> -----Original Message----- From: Raghu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 23, 2006 9:47 AM To: 'Adam K' Cc: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Indexed Properties with nested Tags I am 100% sure. I have extensively used these futures and successful. Using Nested Tags will decrease the Lines of Code,Easy Maintenance.. Nested tags will take care of setting the latest values to form bean .There will not be any change in ActionForm/Action class. Framework will take care of setting the data to actionform for nested properties from nested tags. Form bean may have getters and setter of scalar types(string,int...) or nested types(user defined object,collection...). If you have done every thing as below,Your latest values from jsp will be set to form bean when JSP page is Submitted. Clarification 1 Add below method in TestObject Java Bean also.This will help you understand the Object Content/Data during population and submit. public String toString() { StringBuffer sbTemp = new StringBuffer(); sbTemp.append("{"); sbTemp.append("description=" ); sbTemp.append(description); sbTemp.append("numProducts =" ); sbTemp.append(numProducts ); sbTemp.append("}"); return sbTemp.toString(); }//end of toString Clarification 2 System .out.println is added in order to make you understand that when JSP is submitted you will have latest data in arlResults collection in actionform.

The other thing I am curious about is if what I am doing is incorrect. I am using one action for both the submit as well as the prepopulate based on a url parameter. thanks once again.

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 On 11/21/06, Raghuveer < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi Adam, Use the sample code as requested by you.

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). On 11/21/06, Raghuveer <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: hi Adam, I understand description,numProducts are properties in User defined Object/java bean in results(getResults(),setResults(..)) Collection in your actionForm. For this kind of requirments there will not be any change in actionform even though ,complixety increases in nesting.. Solution is to use Nested Tags. Nested tags are used for nesting a object inside the other. In your requirment "results" is a nested property in your actionform. "results" collection has a collection of objects. I have used Nested tags for most complex requirments and succeeded. Nested Tags is the real power of Struts...
