[OS-webwork] editing lists of text fields

[Anoop Ranganath]

At first I thought this would be a pain in the ass, but after reading 
about OGNL, I think this may actually be a lot easier.  Our domain 
objects have some properties that are lists.  Right now, we can easily 
display them on screen by iterating through the lists in our velocity 
template.  However, for editing them, we click an edit button next to 
it, and that brings up a page with the text in a text field, and we 
edit from there.  The other solution we thought of was put a save 
button next to each text field all on separate forms in the HTML.

Ideally, we'd like to be able to have a list of text fields come up on 
the screen, and you can edit all of them at once, click save, and have 
all of them persisted.  It seems to do that, though, it requires a lot 
of legwork in giving the fields unique names, figuring out which field 
maps to what, etc.

Does OGNL or WW2 provide any magic to do this?

Thanks,
Anoop
