I am not sure I follow, what setter are you looking for? Below is the
method that creates the array, and this is the code on the jsf page:
<tr><td><h:outputText value="#{assessment.currentQuestionText}" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><h:selectOneRadio id="q3answers"
value="#{assessment.q3}" layout="spread">
<f:selectItems id="q3list"
value="#{assessment.*currentQuestionAnswers*}"/>
</h:selectOneRadio>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td><h:outputText value="#{assessment.currentQuestionText}" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><h:selectOneRadio id="q4answers"
value="#{assessment.q4}" layout="spread">
<f:selectItems id="q4list"
value="#{assessment.*currentQuestionAnswers*}"/>
</h:selectOneRadio>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
Thank you for the help, just really lost as to why this would not work if
there is more than one question on a page.
