Joe, I agree with you, because I too had to "fish" for a while and it seems a like a fairly common question/problem. Can somebody, who controls the FAQ section of the Struts site, please put this on the FAQ or Examples section of the site? Pretty please???
Thanks, Amit -----Original Message----- From: Joe Zendle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 18, 2003 10:36 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Complex form data I see. Very subtle (at least to me!) Since the form is defined as request scope, upon submission, a brand new form is instantiated with a default nested Collection of 0 size (via my c'tor). As struts attempts to populate the vector it will call getIndexedProperty(int size) which will add a new bean to the Collection and promptly return it for population. This process continues until a copy of the entire rendered page is complete. Makes sense now. Thanks! Should this be added to the 'Indexed Property' page in the struts documentation? The examples there are all for fixed sized data structures and don't address this frustrating nuance.

If the form is changed to session scope then the problem 'goes away'. This seems to be a BFH fix though. I guess my question is: Are there limitations or criteria to the complexity of forms defined with request scope? Any thoughts are appreciated! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail, including attachments, may include confidential and/or proprietary information, and may be used only by the person or entity to which it is addressed.
