Great idea... make use of the nested property! But what would the advantage be of using this "Map" as compared to the request.getParameters()'s "Map"?
All I can see that it only would be useful if you did some validation in your ActionForm on the "Map", any other uses?

When your action form is populated, you will end up with the "dynaFields" map containing key/value pairs corresponding to the name/value pairs from your <input> elements. -- Martin Cooper --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
