In order to accomplish this in one of my forms I had to implement ParameterAware (gives me all of the parameters and their values). This turned out to be the simplest way for me to deal with this dynamic functionality. Also, remember that if you want ParameterAware to work you need the ServletConfigInterceptor for that action.

I know it is possible to submit form elements as a collection by giving the fields the same name as in: (the same would work for multi select checkboxes) <INPUT type="textbox" name="addField" value="field value1"> <INPUT type="textbox" name="addField" value="field value2"> <INPUT type="textbox" name="addField" value="field value3"> I would like to take it one step furthur and be able to submit data as a table with an arbitrary number of rows. A collection of hashes would be good way. For example: <INPUT type="textbox" name="row[0]{field1}" value="row 1 field value1"> <INPUT type="textbox" name="row[0]{field2}" value="row 1 field value2"> <INPUT type="textbox" name="row[0]{field3}" value="row 1 field value3"> <INPUT type="textbox" name="row[1]{field1}" value="row 2 field value1"> <INPUT type="textbox" name="row[1]{field2}" value="row 2 field value2"> <INPUT type="textbox" name="row[1]{field3}" value="row 3 field value3"> ... So the action would have a setter for rows: public void setRows(Collection row) { //print out the rows Iterator it = row.iterator(); while(it.hasNext()) { HashMap rowData = (HashMap)it.next(); System.out.println(rowData.get("field1")); System.out.println(rowData.get("field2")); System.out.println(rowData.get("field3")); } Even better would be to map it directly to a value object for the row if possible public void setRows(Collection row) { //print out the rows Iterator it = row.iterator(); while(it.hasNext()) { Row rowData = (Row)it.next(); System.out.println(rowData.getField1()); System.out.println(rowData.getField2()); System.out.println(rowData.getField3()); } So in essence webworks could parse the form element name as "ObjectName[ObjectIndex]{FieldName}". thanks, Alex. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
