Ok, thanks for the help. I didn't know about the "always use String[] in parameter map" thing.
The number of input fields are dynamic in my view, and therefore I used the OgnlList.
I didn't have any luck with adding add(String) or set(int, String) to my List, ognl just uses the set(int, Object obj) method (obj = String[]). I tried using a String[] instead of a List, didn't work. I tried using index getters and setters in my action (instead of returning the list, array), didn't work.
My solution to this is to create a data placeholder that I put in my OgnlList. By using it I can write
<input type="text" name="list[1].string" ...
Cheers Jonas

Form values in the parameter map are always of type String[] even if they contain only one value. This is because you may return muliple values with the same name (ie checkboxs) from an html form.
You do not need to use an OnglList here. When you use an OgnlList it is prepopulated with objects so that you can set properties on those objects. In your example the List is populted with Strings (immutable) which are then replaced by the String[] value from the parameter map.
You could instead extend List with a add(String) method which would use XWorks type conversion to use the first String in the array.

Subject: [OS-webwork] OGNL list question again
Hi!
I can not understand why I get arrays (instead of Strings) when OGNL populates my list in my action!
In action:
// Use OgnlList so we don't get out of bounds private List theList = new OgnlList(String.class)
public List getList() { return theList; }
In view:
<input type="text" name="list[1]" size="2" maxlength="2"> <input type="text" name="list[2]" size="2" maxlength="2"> and so on...
Then in my action, theList will contain an array of size 1 in position 1 and 2. Of course I want the string object directly in theList.
I'm using the latest from cvs. (ww2, xw)
Thanks Jonas
