Re: stuck with 1.0.2

You should be able to use collections and arrays just fine with 1.0.2. 

The form would have multiple delete,name, and profile elements. 

The ActionForm will then have arrays or collections for each. 

The specification does not guarantee that these will be submitted back
in the correct order, but in practice that's what happens. 

You might want to use a YES/NO Radio Button for Delete though. This way
the control will always "succeed" and submit something that can be
caught on the other side.

stuck with 1.0.2

[Michael Dingler]

Hi there,

I'm currently rewriting some protoype parts of an web
application with struts. Unfortunately I've got to use
1.0.2, so I miss some neat opportunities...

Once again it's a dynamic forms problem, at least I think
so...
One page where I have the problem is the user administration
part. Basically, you should be able to add new users,
change the permissions of existing ones or delete them.

So my pure JSP prototype with lots of ugly scriptlets
looked something like this:

--
 New User:   Profile [Adminstrator]  |Submit|

Existing Users:
Delete? Name:   Profile:
  [ ]   User1   [User]
  [ ]   User2   [Administrator]
  [ ]   User3   [Owner]

[Submit]
---

The "[ ]" part below "Delete?" is supposed to be a checkbox,
That "Profile" Stuff is a .
The number of users is variable, of course.

So, what's the best practice for this kind of issue?
As far as I could gather from RTFM & RTFML, I could
model the lines as a Collection and just 
over them. That is, if I'd be using 1.1...

I've got it working, but this involves scriptlets and
poking around in the request, just as my initial code
did. Sigh...

...Michael...
