I undoubtedly badly expressed myself, I am sorry but I am French and I have sometimes evil to express myself in English.
I do not have a list of DynaValidatorForm, I want use a DynaActionForm
which must allow to display a collection (of objects) in a JSP.
The JSP will be a table with several rows and columns.
I always try to hopelessly post a collection of objects with the tag display.
But unfortunately that still does not go even with the last version of the file.
If somebody has a idea thank you a lot in advance.
Struts-config.xml:
<form-bean name="callForm" dynamic="true" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="calls" type="java.util.Collection" />
</form-bean>
In the PopulateAction:
Collection callslist = new ArrayList();
CallBean call1 = new CallBean(1,"toto","France")
callslist.add( call1);
CallBean call2 = new CallBean(2,"tata","France")
callslist.add( call2);
BeanUtils.copyProperties(form,callslist);
In the JSP page:
<display:table border="0" pagesize="3" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" name="callForm" property="calls" scope="session">
<display:column property="id" title="ID" />
<display:column property="service" title="Service"/>
</display:table>
When I run the application I have the new error:
I do not know how to iterate over 'class java.lang.String'.'
it is probably a problem of conversion, with BeanUtils.copyProperties
isn't it.
I tried to create a sub-class of DynaValidatorForm with a property
private ArrayList calls.
But when I debug the application the form parameter is null
in the method
executeAction(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response).
What must I do ?

Display tag
I simply mean to say the display tag library will not work with a collection
of DynaActionForms (you might want to enter a bug for it) similar to how JSTL
will not work with a collection of DynaActionForms. If you use a collection
of ActionForms, it will work fine.
