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.
