Hello fred, Thanks for the reply, so just for clarifiation, if I am using a property which will be "indexed" then the getters and setters will be a little different from the usual set and get Ie
public String getBidAmount(int index) { return bidAmount[index]; } And public void setBidAmount(int index, String val) { bidAmount[index] = val; } And have to implement the bidAmoutn as an array? Protected String[] bidAmount; Do confirm if igot that right? Thanks once again for ur time. -----Original Message----- From: Frederic Dernbach [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, October 26, 2003 8:23 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Indexed properties help! Rajat, Here is an example of an indexed property called 'signal' (in my application it holds complex objects, not simple strings or integers): public OrderedSignalBean getSignal(int index) { while( index >= this.getSignals().size() ){ this.getSignals().add(new OrderedSignalBean()); } return (OrderedSignalBean) this.getSignals().get(index); } public void setSignal(int index, OrderedSignalBean signal) { while ( index >= signals.size() ){ signals.add(new OrderedSignalBean()); } signals.set(index, signal); } The 'signals' member is private and is of type 'ArrayList'. It is created in the form's contructor and the reset method of the form : signals = new ArrayList(). The setter and getter methods of the indexed property perform so-clled "lazy-initialization" so you do not have to worry about the siez of the array list. Hope this helps.
