Lets find out...
I suppose having some way of mapping a bean to form property in struts xml could be handy.
Although I start getting confused when i think of this in terms of non dyna action forms... Populating the ArrayList in the form bean I believe could compromise MVC, at least as struts implements it (feedback on this stuff would be appreciated from any beard-sporters).. But the idea of mapping stuff to a form property in the <form-property.. tag and thus moving it out of the <html:select or options tags in the jsp page does have an appeal. Could be like the controlerClass or Url attributes in tiles.
I'll go read the proposal and think a little more...

Mark,
I think Brandon Goodin proposed a batch to enhance DyanActionForm to automaticly pupolating dyanamic list with a known element type
It has nothting to do controller and model. Just an enhancement to the tool.
Am I wrong?

I'm still not beard-sporting on these types of issues... but... wouldn't that start to cloud the demarcation between model and controller?

Hi Mark, thanks for reply. I knew it is a popular topic but at the time, I was not able to think of good search key for looking into the archive.
Until I tumbled on a old post regarding lazyList. and the
answer is there just like you have explained ;-) I hope Struts 1.2
will
incorporate the patch submit by Goodwin to solve this scenario since I
know
lots of people have to create their own form bean to handle dynamic
collection.
Thanks and thanks ;-)

If you take an example of a traditional action form, the same would happen with that.
If you've populated the form in the referring action then you should have an insight into how action forms and actions work together.
The form bean should always be there, but know it won't self populate
just like a standard action form.
You can scope the form to session or repopulate as part of the action
invoked via the form submission.
cheers mark

Hello,
I have an ArrayList as a element of an DyanActionForm. The list contains elements of another bean that has properties as strings.
I can populate the DynaActionForm in my action and have the JSP to display it .
The question here is does DynaActionForm has the intelligent to reconstruct itself after the form is submited back to the server?
I tried but the ArrayList always come back emtpy..
Any suggestion?
