I could probably restructure my data to make it fit that model, but that is not the ideal solution. My data is structured more like a hash, where the keys are essentially arbitrary and unpredictable. Is there something similar that would work with that kind of structure?

//then the jsp makes reference to persons ArrayList from the action class and 
references specific rows by utilising stat.index by the s:iterator iterator

<s:form action="submitPersonInfo" namespace="/conversion" method="post">
    <%--
        The following is done Dynamically
    --%>
    <s:iterator value="new int[3]" status="stat">
<s:textfield label="%{'Person '+#stat.index+' Name'}" name="%{'persons['+#stat.index+'].name'}" /> <s:textfield label="%{'Person '+#stat.index+' Age'}" name="%{'persons['+#stat.index+'].age'}" />
    </s:iterator>

this would achieve the effect of dynamically populating n number of Person 
objects

does this answer the question?

Bump.  Any other ideas?

That works for setting parameter names, but not so well when the tags in the JSP need to retrieve the value for display in the page, particularly if there is a validation error. If there is a static field named "fred" and the action has a "getFred()" method, then all is good. But the field names in my case are dynamic, so I can't have a getNNNNN for all of the dynamic fields.

I'm sure I've seen the answer to this somewhere, but darned if I can find it
now when I need it!

I have a page that allows edits of various options, the names of which are dynamically retrieved from the database. If I have the code in the JSP as
below, the value displayed in the text field is always that from the
database. If there is a validation error, the user's input value is not maintained as it would be if there were an explicit getter/setter for each option name. Is there a way to code the Action (or the JSP) so that the
value shown is the user's input value if there is an error?

        <s:iterator value="authorizedOptions" id="o">
                <s:textfield size="10" name="${o.optionName}"
id="${o.optionName}" value="${o.valueInt}" />
