I have implemented a dynamic generated form. In my
case I wanted to have a user profile page, where the
questions were stored in the database and could be
updated at any time.
The way I did this was when I dynamically generated
the form field elements I had a consistent name always
starting with "customproperty" followed by an index
number starting with zero. For example
customerproperty1, customproperty2, etc...
Then inside the action class since I have access to
the request object I was able to do this:
int index=1;
while(request.getParameter("customproperty"+index)!=null)
{
do something
index++;
}
Hope this helps!
