Thanks for the responses guys. Does that mean the following getter (given at
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/indexedprops.html) is incorrect? It
doesn't seem to follow the javabean spec for indexed properties:
public java.util.List getStringIndexed(int index) {
return java.util.Arrays.asList(strAry);
}
(If it's taking an index as a parameter, why would it return the whole list?
Is this some additional functionality that BeanUtils provides?)
Regarding the 2 variants for getters and setters - which one should I use?
Both? If I use the "whole list" variant, then I can't do any index checking
to prevent an indexing exception (unless I decide to subclass ArrayList and
override the set(index, object) method). But when I introduce the "indexed"
variant, I start getting bean-related JspExceptions like "JspException: No
getter method for property .." even though the property name matches up with
the getter and setter.
Thanks for your help!
