Assuming you're NOT using the lazy initialization, you could do it like this...
1) your iterate will need to specify the type of the nested class: <logic:iterate id="person" name="myFormBean" property="personList" type="com.mydom.myproject.struts.Person> Where the Person class has just the standard accessors for name and phoneNo. 2) Your myFormBean will have the special accessors for indexing: // SPECIAL ACCESSORS FOR INDEXING NEEDED public Person getPersonList(int ndx) { return (PersonForm) personList.get(ndx); } public void setPersonList(int ndx, PersonForm p) { personList.set(ndx, p); } 3) Assuming you don't already know the size of your personList, your reset method will initialize it and create the empty Person objects to fill with the data: public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) { this.personList = new ArrayList(); String num = request.getParameter("personListLength"); try { if (num != null) { int len = Integer.parseInt(num); for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) this.personList.add(new PersonForm()); } } catch (NumberFormatException e) { //... } } This assumes the prep action that entered the jsp figured out the size of the list and set it into a hidden in the jsp in a field named personListLength. -john -----Original Message----- From: Sashi Ravipati [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 1:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: what setters do i implement in an indexed tag --NewBiequestion Can some body help in as how to define get and set methods when we use indexed tags. eg: <logic:iterate id="person" name="myFormBean" property="personList"> <tr> <td> <bean:write name="person" property="name"/> <html:hidden name="person" property="name" indexed="true"/> </td> <td> <html:text name="person" property="phoneNo" indexed="true"/> </td> </tr> </logic:iterate> What will be the get and set methods.
