Hi,
I'm newbie, so sorry for stupid questions. I'm trying to use Facelets
1.1.14. SWF 2.0.8. Spring 2.5.6. Apache Trinidad 1.2.12. JBoss EL
2.0.1. and Hibernate JPA imp. but I think it's not relevant now. My
English not too good let the code snippets speak because of this rather.

<!-- Maybe it would be better to use the bestsellers list of Book
entities but then I guess the place of code that should iterate over the
list to find the Book with the appropriate id would be good in a custom
Action "bean" (correct me if I'm wrong) and I don't want to complicate
this sample with that too.
expression="cart.addItem(catalogService.getBookById(requestParameters.selectedBookId))">
</evaluate>
</transition>
</global-transitions>
</flow>
When I click on the "Add to cart" button the post request will be
something like this:
_noJavaScript false
j_id5
j_id17:rangeStart 0
javax.faces.ViewState H4sIAAAAAAAAA......
org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.faces.FORM mainForm
*selectedBookId 1
selectedBookId 2
selectedBookId 3
selectedBookId 4 *
source j_id31:0:j_id37:j_id38
state
value
As it seems it's send a "String array" of selectedBookId . I'd like to
send just the appropriate id of course. How could I reach that? On top
of this I'd like to make more rows dynamically. You know 4 books in the
first row than another 4 one etc, but I don't know how to write the
repeat code to make this. Although, the main problem is the first one.
