Easy way to deal with Dynamic Form elements
I have basically a shopping cart application and I am wondering what is the easiest way of updating the quantity of each item in the shopping cart. Populating the page with the list of cart items is easy. I have no clue how I will process the Dynamic form elements that represent the quantity of each item in the cart. Thanks -Gp

Presumably whatever class represents a CartItem has, in addition to a property pointing to an selection from your wares, a property to represent the quantity? Then you simply need to update this quantity in the Action when a user specifies a quantity? Or am I just not understanding you.

RE: Easy way to deal with Dynamic Form elements
Sorry, I didn't explain myself. Basically the page that shows the cart contents will have an unknown number (Cardinality 0..*) of items listed. Beside each item there will be a text box where the user can input the quantity of the item that they want to order. When the user hits checkout or updateQuantity I have to be able to figure out what item they are updating. So, How do I know which item they are trying to update once I get to the CartAction that does the processing of the form? Thanks for the reply. -Gp -Original Message- From: Erik Price [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 13, 2003 2:58 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Easy way to deal with Dynamic Form elements Giampiero De Ciantis wrote: I have basically a shopping cart application and I am wondering what is the easiest way of updating the quantity of each item in the shopping cart.

Assign a meaningful name, such as item1Quantity or item32Quantity, so that in your CartAction, you can then extract the HTTP parameters (using getParameter(String)) and you can perform whatever logic you need to perform now that you know (1) the name of the item and (2) the quantity set by the user.
