I'm truly astonished to hear you say that.  I've done a lot of sites in the 
last decade and allowing the user to shortlist a database selection has been 
part of every project.

I did not say that the feature of submitting multiple rows at the same time is 
very rare, I said that for each such (currently unsupported) feature there are 
19 others that are supported.



you just need to edit the generated JSP, should not be a problem for someone 
with lots of webapp experience



anyway, not sure if you have been tracking the related JIRA issue I'm working 
on (I pasted it earlier: )



I will probably add support for it when used in a certain scenario. 



You also need to be aware of the fact that it is very difficult to properly 
implement such a feature: sending all parameters from the table is not the 
problem, the real problem is that if one of the parameters is empty it is not 
being sent by the browser .. 



suppose you have 3 rows of data to send:



1. aaa bbb ccc

2. ddd     fff

3. ggg hhh iii



(notice the field were you would expect 'eee' is empty)



this will arrive at the server and will be stored in an action form, not unlike 
this:



form.getColumn1() = [aaa, ddd, ggg]

form.getColumn2() = [bbb, hhh]

form.getColumn3() = [ccc, fff, iii]



how can we ever know the second item from column2 corresponds to the third 
items from column1 and column3 ?



so I can easily send the ids of the rows, that's not a problem .. but sending 
fields that are potentially empty is very hard to do



how did you handle the cases where you needed to send different fields ?
