http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14116 Add "getMap()" method to DynaActionForm to let JSTL EL reference DynaActionForms Summary: Add "getMap()" method to DynaActionForm to let JSTL EL reference DynaActionForms Product: Struts Version: Nightly Build Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Standard Actions AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Presently, DynaActionForm properties cannot be referenced in JSTL tags, or in EL references in Struts-EL tags (normal "name/property" references in Struts-EL can still reference them). If JSTL EL syntax could reference DynaActionForm properties, it would enhance developer's ability to integrate Struts and Struts-EL tags with JSTL tags. Fortunately, one simple change will provide this, although it will result in a slightly different syntax. By adding a single method to the DynaActionForm class, called "getMap()", which returns the HashMap of values, this allows EL references like "${bean.map.prop}", which references the "prop" property of the DynaActionForm. There is some question whether it would be better to make this change in the BeanUtils library itself, by changing the DynaBean interface. However, this is not a good idea, as DynaBeans do not have to be implemented with a Map. Adding a "getMap()" method to the interface would force all the inheriting classes to not only define the method, but use that particular implementation. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-dev-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-dev-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
