Re: Indexed Properties and Population
David says:
One implementation that should work based on your example
as long as you are willing to create a child factory is in the commons
collection package and is ListUtils.lazyList, which takes a List and
factory.
I have used this as well, in combination with the nested tag library.
We have a page that displays and updates a List of Value Objects where
each have two internal Lists of Value Objects.
The structure of value objects are sent to me from the back end as such:
CustomerList
CustomerVo 1
creditVo1 invoiceVo1
creditVo2 invoiceVo2
. .
CustomerVo2
creditVo1 invoiceVo1
creditVo2 invoiceVo2
. .
I would be curious to know this would done without the nested tags and
lazy list.

Matt,
You really don't need to know how many there are, just create them
on demand. You can intercept gets and auto-extend the underlying
Collection. One implementation that should work based on your example
as long as you are willing to create a child factory is in the commons
collection package and is ListUtils.lazyList, which takes a List and
factory.

I have an ArrayList on a form... let's call the form Parent and the
ArrayList Children.
If I have:
private ArrayList children;
public void setChildren(int index, ChildForm childForm) {
this.children.set(index, childForm);
}
Then saving my form results in a NPE for BeanUtils.copyProperties. If
I
create a whole bunch of objects in the ArrayList in the constructor -
I
avoid this problem:
public ParentForm () {
children = new ArrayList(100);
for (int i=0; i 100; i++) {
children.add(new ChildForm());
}
But I'm guessing that this fits better into the reset(mapping,
request)
method of my form. My question is - how do I determine how many there
are?
Is there something in the request this this information - or should I
set a
hidden field with the number of children?
Thanks,
Matt

RE: Indexed Properties and Population
Here's how I did it:
On my Form:
public ArrayList getKids() {
returns kids;
}
public void setKids(ArrayList kids) {
this.kids = kids;
}
public int getKidsSize() {
return kids.size();
}
In my JSP:
nested:iterate property=kids
...
nested:text property=name/
...
/nested:iterate
html:hidden property=kidsSize/
On my form (relevant for saving)
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
// make the kids ArrayList the proper size and populate with
// empty objects
int kidsSize = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter(kidsSize));
kids = new ArrayList(kidsSize);
for (int i=0; i kidsSize; i++) {
kids.add(new KidForm());
}
}
This seems to work great for me. Any other suggestions/methods are
encouraged ;) Is it lunchtime (beertime) yet?
HTH,
Matt

Re: Indexed Properties and Population
Just make sure you've got a way to cap the max number you auto-create...

RE: Indexed Properties and Population
I think what I'll do is to create a new method called getChildrenSize() that
does what Mark suggests below - then I'll put this as a hidden field on my
form. Since all my form's contents are dumped into a JSP (and gone), I've
lost the size of the children - unless I save it as a hidden field, or count
them in my nested:iterate tag. So then in my reset method on the form, I
can create x number of children and do set(index, form).
Thanks,
Matt
