Rick, I haven't found a good way to do this without a lot of gross "<%=" hacking, specifically because the Struts and JSTL interators give you a handle to the index of the interated object, not the key. But frankly, I don't see a huge need to do this. Since the ActionForm is a separate object (or should be) from the backend business object, you can map in and out between an array and a Map during form setup and Action processing.
