Iterate a character array
I am trying to iterate through an array of characters in a JSP, binding a text field to each character. The form bean (call it "form") has a method char[] getCharacters() and corresponding setter. The JSP looks like this: Position <%-- Display the value. This displays correctly --%> <%-- now bind the property - this displays an exception No getter method for property char of bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN' --%> I have tried using various combinations of nested and logic iterate, and tried binding the property with and without ${} but no luck. At worst nothing compiles, and at best, the page is requiring the collection to return beans, and doesn't seem to want to work with a character array. Getting and setting form beans is really not the way I wanted to go, because it's too much load to transform a char string to a list of Strings, and then accepting a list of strings back and converting them back to characters, for each access, not to mention creating and GC'ing all of those extra objects. Do you have any advice? Thanks, Victor Grazi - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Struts 1.1 iterate woes
We are trying to use in a JSP to access items in a list stored in the Form Bean by the Action class but we can't seem to get the syntax right. I am getting an error meessage from PropertyUtils that displays the index as '${index}', which indicates that that struts el expression is not resolving to an int. Here is my exact syntax. The form and action are described in more detail below. Send I have created several Test classes to help me understand the flow... The form is an instance of TestForm exends ActionForm and its form name in struts-config.xml is "testForm". (This is the named form for the action.) TestForm has one property: java.util.List list with accessors public List getList() and public void setList(List list). List is always a List of LineItem objects where LineItem is a simple JavaBean with properties String id (public String getId() and public void setId(String id)), String description (public String getDescription() and public void setDescription(String description)) and boolean isChanged (public void setIsChanged(boolean value) and public boolean getIsChanged() ) The Action (TestAction extends Action) "execute" method creates a List of 5 LineItem objects and stores that List into the form by calling ((TestForm)form).setList(list), then forwards to the jsp (test.jsp) In the jsp I would like to iterate through the list to perform the following: display the id (as html read-only text) and the description (as html:text) of each line item, then use JavaScript to change the "isChanged" property (in a hidden field) when the onchange event is triggered. I have tried several different syntaxes. I also tried using arrays instead of List's. I also specified the type of the LineItem class explicitly in the form element. I tried each of the "html:" and "bean:write" lines above one at a time to see if any would be successful, but they all produce that same error. I have combed the web for a good example of how to accomplish this, but I couldn't find anything that handled things in a way that would work for us.

Struts development methodology
We are developing an important struts application for a major bank, and we need some advice on methodology... Our graphic designers are developing the UI in HTML using Dreamweaver and Notepad. (They are gifted artists, but they don't much know about Struts or JSTL). We also have Java developers who are concurrently creating the Struts pieces. Question is - how do you synch up the work of these 2 teams? One approach would be to give the Java team the html pages and have them translate the tags to struts. However this becomes difficult to maintain, because if the graphics team makes a few small changes, the entire page needs to be retranslated to struts. Another approach would be to download a Dreamweaver plugin such as FWA Visual Struts. We tested that approach and we were actually able to get the tags to render in Dreamweaver. However the artists always need to view the pages in MS Internet Explorer before signing off, and since the Java classes don't exist yet, they can't do that. We considered another approach where we would create an XSLT transform to transform the html pages to a struts equivalent, and embed struts specific info into the document using some tags that would not be recognizable to the browser. However this is difficult since there is not really a 1 to 1 correspondence between tags and attributes. Ok, so those were our ideas, none of them great. So can you give us any advice?

Seeking master detail hello world
Can you point me to a small but complete master detail struts program? I am having trouble understanding how to set this up, especially with buttons on each row. For example if the page is displaying a collection of beans as an html table, and there is an update and delete button on each row, how do you pass the id of the record to those buttons and how does the Action capture the button (update or delete, and record id) that was pressed.

RE: Generating struts tags from a Java Bean
These tags are going to be reused many times throughout our application, and I prefer to omit this type of decision logic from the jsp pages. Therefore I think it pays to design custom tags to accomplish what I need. I have been looking at some of the source code for the various tag handlers that extend BaseTagHandler, and I see there is a lot going on. I would like to make sure to leverage all of the functionality included in BaseTagHandler. I was wondering if there is some documentation out there for creating new BaseTagHandler extensions, or custom Struts HTML components in general. I understand how to create taglibs in general, I am asking whether there is such specific documentation for Struts.
