Okay, now I understand what you meant by "edit". You might be right about needing to
use an array in this case, as I have never had to do exactly what you're doing. So,
if you want to proceed in this vein, I *think* you should do something like this:
<logic:iterate id="grid" name="responseProcessForm" property="msgCode" indexID="index">
<td> <bean:write name='responseProcessForm' property='<%= "msgCode[" +
index.intValue() + "]" %>' filter='true'/> </td>
<td><html:text name='responseProcessForm' property='<%= "msgDesc[" +
index.intValue() + "]" %>' size='6' maxlength="6" /> </td>
</logic:iterate>
Couple of things to note here:
1. You are only using the iterate tag to get the index value. Your two arrays must
be of the same length of course, and it doesn't matter which one you iterate through.
2. You are not using the id attribute of the iterage tag at all, but I *think* it's
required, so I left it there.
3. The index is actually a big Integer, hence the intValue() method call.
4. The attributes have single quotes around them for a reason. There are String
literals embedded in the JSP expressions in the attributes...usually the double quotes
confuse the JSP compiler, so I put single quotes around the attribute value itself.
This is valid, but you can't mix usage within a tag (i.e. single and double for
attributes)
5. You may want to replace the String literals I have used with prefix/suffix
variables created from bean:define tags. That was you can eliminate some of the
quotes and it might look cleaner to you.
6. (this is the important one) I've never had to do this, but AFAIK this should work
just fine.
7. Hey, let me know if this works. ;)
peace,
Joe
