Hi Navjot,
I have been working with the BeanUtils things on this problem.
Are you referring to the 'describe' and 'populate' methods? That's what
I've been working on.
I am looking for yet a simpler way to do this. I should say, I wonder if
there's an easier way to do this.
Let me explain a bit on the situation.
Multipage form. The form bean contains other value objects, and these
value objects have Collection properties, pointing to another set of
Value Objects.
That is, in my original formbean:
public MyEJBValueObject getXXX(){...}
public void setXXXs(MyEJBValueObject e){...}
In the MyEJBValueObject.java, I have:
public Collection getYYYs(){...}
public void setYYYs(Collecton c){...}
And the collection YYY actually is a arraylist of AnotherEJBValueObject
With this kind of structure, it's quite tedious to build the
QueryString,
Is that right? I suppose I have to iterate thru the Map described by
BeanUtils and go into further levels, and describe again.
The worst part is, I don't want to build the 'Form elements' myself.
That is,
I have to come up with indexed/mapped/mixed name, like,
SALES.ITEMS[2].DISCOUNT['MONTHLYSPECIAL'].DISCOUNTRATE
Do I have to do that manually?
Thanks.
Patrick.

that should be easy.
BeanUtils gives you the way to populate a MAP object from a Bean. Now al
you need to do is iterate over keys, form a querystring with each
name-value pair separated by &.
