Re: Index properties (once again)
That's okay Rajat as I said I know what its like to up against the wire.. I've found ArrayList works better in dynaActionForms especially if you're dynamically generating forms. I think this because its a big fat pain in the arse to create new dynabeans (have a play with bean utils for a day and you find this out). When setting the size dynamically you need to scope the form to session. action path=/myaction scope=session .. I use arraylist as the form property type, i don't think that arrays work but i could be wrong form-property name=myprop type=java.util.ArrayList / [notice you dont set the size] then in your action when your loading the form ArrayList list = ... theForm.set(myprop,list); and also (I guess this shouldn't be required but it is)... request.setAttribute(myprop,list); then logic:iterate id=prop name=myForm property=myprop html:text name=prop property=foo indexed=true / /logic:iterate I guess you could apply the same principles using non dynamic action form. I imagine that using an array rather than arrayList should work too.

RE: Index properties (once again)
Hi Rajat, You could use an Array. If your form is in the session, as opposed to the request, the array will never go away, so the array will retain its size. I can't do that in our app as our UI presents a spreadsheet and allows the user to add and remove rows. For that reason, I use an ArrayList since I can easily resize it on the fly. As far as creating an Array with the correct size, I don't believe that we have any control over the sequence in which Struts populates the ActionForm. So we couldn't submit the array size from the browser. Glad that you found the referenced threads useful :-) Nick Rajat Pandit [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' [EMAIL PROTECTED] upinc.com cc: Subject: RE: Index properties (once again) 10/27/2003 09:31 PM Please respond to Struts Users Mailing List Hello all, I finally managed to solve the problem, and now that I know it all seems so damn awfully simple!!! , I wish the docs had explained it in a much simpler manner.

Forget indexed properties, all that stuff.. Does each state have many bids, modes and/or calls? If you're not clear about this in the first place then you'll be in trouble. Until you stop spamming the list and think about what you're doing then you wont get anywhere.

Hi Ranjat, Take a look at the mail archive. There are at least two threads that I have posted to that discuss indexed properties. I think that you'll find just about everything you need in those threads. There is info about (1) building your page with indexed properties and (2) getting the indexed data back into the form. http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]by=threadfrom=471600 http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]by=threadfrom=216908 Take a look at these threads.
