Is anyone who has implemented this modification willing to share?  I need
this feature yesterday, and am hoping I don't have to wait until Struts 1.0
final
or (gasp) Struts 1.1.

Thanks in advance,

Re: nested and indexed properties in 1.0?

I had attached an old modified version of mine to a message to
struts-user (or maybe struts-dev) a while ago.  Here is an updated
version in which I've integrated my changes into the latest CVS
version of BeanUtils.java.  I haven't tested this version, and I'm not
sure it works with multipart requests (file uploads) correctly, so
don't count on it too much without taking a look at it...it is,
however, an example of how population with nested and indexed
properties can be supported (in a dirty hack kind of way).

Its indeed a simple change. I'm also running a modified version of struts
capable to use nested and indexed properties. I would too like this feature
to be incorparated into struts.

Use . This is not a
struts thing, it's the JSP spec that leads to this syntax.

nested and indexed properties in 1.0?

[ej]

Is 1.0 going to have full support for nested and indexed properties?  I have y forms 
which use property names such as "apples[2].oranges[3]" and I would 
really appreciate it if this was supported in 1.0.  It's a simple change to 
support this since PropertyUtils already does it.  All that needs to be done 
is to make BeanUtils.populate use PropertyUtils.setProperty (with maybe some 
hacking around to make PropertyUtils support type conversion, but all the code 
for that is already in BeanUtils).  If you're going to support getting complex 
properties like this (and setting them, with PropertyUtils), why not support 
full bean population with them?

Also, will 1.0 support some way to use JSP variables in property names?  For 
example, I have JSP pages with present the user a table full of form input boxes
and I want to generate it simple with a for loop in a scriptlet.  However, I 
couldn't do this before because you can't have 

Is there a way around this now?  Will there be with 1.0?

Thanks,
eric.
