Just in case anyone is interested, I worked around this problem by using Query to parse the parameter list and find out how many objects need to be instantiated. Basically, I count the number of different indices I get into a particular object and then instantiate that many objects before calling BeanUtil.setProperties(). That OGNL indexed setters and getters thing is cool, but it doesn't really help in this case. But yea, thanks so much for the help guys. And I don't imagine that adding this functionality to OGNL would be that complicated, right?

I'll be back in the groove soon and ready with more OGNL enhancements. BTW, the indexed getters and setters are supported by OGNL. Just use index notation: public class SomeObject { public Kardon getKardon(int index); public void setKardon(int index, Kardon kardon); } SomeObject o; Kardon k; Ognl.getValue("kardon[2]", o); Ognl.setValue("kardon[0]", o, k); This will call getKardon(2) an setKardon(0, k), respectively. - Drew -- +---------------------------------+ < Drew Davidson | OGNL Technology > +---------------------------------+ | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / | Web: http://www.ognl.org / | Vox: (520) 531-1966 < | Fax: (520) 531-1965 \ | Mobile: (520) 405-2967 \ +---------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: eBay Get office equipment for less on eBay! http://adfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/711-11697-6916-5 _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: eBay Get office equipment for less on eBay! http://adfarm.mediaplex.com/ad/ck/711-11697-6916-5 _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork
