Ok I tried that and a couple of more things. I can see what Kishore
trying to do, using indexed properties. However using login iterate
loop with indexed property didnt work and I was getting: cannot find
fields[0].label in the bean. So I replaced that with <nested:iterate
like so:
<nested:iterate name="formActionForm" property="fields" >
<tr>
<td><nested:text property="label"/></td>
<td><nested:text property="fields"/></td>
</tr>
</nested:iterate>
It does the same thing by outputting inputs name as: fields[0].label
However, it still doesnt change the ActionForms property on submit, I
do have in my bean method defined as
public ArrayList getFields() {
return fields;
}
public void setFields(ArrayList fields) {
this.fields = fields;
}
Thanks Dakota for your input as well, I see what you mean and I tried
doing what you suggested and it didnt work, most likely due to the
fact that all the fileds like label, type, .... belong to a Bean, and
my ActionForm has a list populated with those Beans, as wel as
getter/setter for a hole List but getters and setters for the
label,type,.... are within the Bean rather than ActonForm.
Still stuck guys, what else can I try?
Thanks,
Oleg
