Thanks all of you for your replies but I'm afraid they're not helping
in this case.
James, It's not about getting different buttons to do different
actions. Like I said, I'm using e.g. method = "Edit" or method =
"Save" for that.
I just need some way to return the index of the object in the list
that a certain row belongs to when one of the row's buttons has been
pushed (Like I said.)
To Jim: I actually started doing this application by having each row
in a separate form but I had to change that because of Theme issues
and because I didn't know how to make the automatic handling of errors
and values work in that case. Please don't ask me to change that again
'cause then I have to change the theme as well and I really don't have
the time to do that! There must be another way.
Dave, you seem to know a whole lot about Struts 2. Is there no way to
take the value of "#state.index" of the s:iterator when a certain
iteration is being processed, connect that to a button and send the
value to an Action property when the button has been pushed?
