Hi, I'm not sure if this is a basic JSP question or a Stripes Layout question. I'd just explain:
In my application I try to simplify the use of indexed properties. The basic pattern is described here: http://www.stripesframework.org/display/stripes/Indexed+Properties Now, looking at the pattern it consists of the following blocks: (for) (input fields 0...n) (endfor) (input fields n+1) Means: First all existing items are shown with the respective input fields and then in the end there are empty fields for new entries. This approach is highly redundant: - It requires to repeat (in the example) "people[${loop.index}]" a lot - The same fields are repeated outside the loop My approach was to use templating in combination with conventions for my ActionBeans, such as: All action beans should implement this interface: public interface Indexed<T> { public List<T> getItems(); public void setItems(List<T> items); } <stripes:layout-definition> <c:forEach items="${actionBean.items}" var="item" varStatus="loop"> <c:set var="i" value="${loop.index}" scope="page"/> <stripes:hidden name="items[${i}].id" value="${item.id}"/> <stripes:layout-component name="contents"/> </c:forEach> <c:set var="i" value="${f:length(actionBean.items)}"/> <stripes:layout-component name="contents"/> </stripes:layout-definition> and then the layout can be used: <stripes:layout-render name="/layout/default.jsp"> <stripes:layout-component name="contents"> <stripes:text name="items[${i}].firstName" value="${item.firstName}"/> ... </stripes:layout-component> </stripes:layout-render> But the problemis: The variable ${i} is undefined in when using the template. This throws an exception. Is there any workaround for this? Or am I missing something?
