I was unable to address this issue myself, Ajay. I use a combination of an ActionForm for the static fields and naming conventions for the dynamically generated fields plus parameter handling for these in the Action class. This is not very aesthetically pleasing, however.
I have heard that Struts support for this is in development, but don't quote me on that. What we need is the ability to specify input name patterns for fields that will get stored in an ArrayList when the request is processed. For instance: // in the new Struts tag: <dynaList pattern="param*" name="myFieldList" /> // Some dynamically generated stuff in the request: param1 = value1 param2 = value2 param3 = value3 ...and these key-value pairs would get stored in myFieldList, an instance of ArrayList. Anybody know if this is in the works? cheers, Joe > -----Original Message----- > From: Ajay Mallik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 2:54 PM > To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' > Subject: PLEASE HELP !!! > > > > Hi All, > I am new to Struts.
