Re: Nested Classes problem

[Adam Hardy]

This is a nested tags gotcha. I fell into it. I've seen lots of people 
fall into it. In fact there's alot of posts in the archives about it, 
which is probably why you didn't get a response til now, but essentially 
your problem is this:

the nested beans turn to null between form presentation and submittal 
because they're in the request, so they only exist in your presentation 
call. You have to manually remake them for the submittal, or keep your 
form bean with the beans in it in your session.

 If I un-nest myNestedClass and put it in MyActionForm bean, I have no

Nested classes

[Gregor Rayman]

Hi all,

I am using an ActionForm with a collection of Rows which should be
editable. 

My ActionForm contains a property getRow(int i) which returns a bean
with the row's properties. 

Everything work perfectly, when the class returned from getRow(int) is
a standalone class. But as soon as I make this class a nested class
of my ActionForm, struts complains, if cannot find property setters:

This works:

public class MyForm ... {
public MyRow getRow(int i) {
...;
}
}

public class MyRow {
public setProperty(String value) {
...;
}
}


This does not: (cannot find property setter for row[0].property)

public class MyForm ... {
public MyRow getRow(int i) {
...;
}

public static class MyRow {
public setProperty(String value) {
...;
}
}


I'd really like to use nested classes. Is there a way?
