This is the first time I am doing web programming and using struts as well. I have been meaning to ask this ever since I started. At the risk of sounding stupid, here is the question: EVEN I AM ALSO QUITE NEW TO WEB APPLICATION, BUT I WILL TRY TO GIVE YOU THE SOLUTION RATHER THAN ANSWERING WHY LOGIC:ITERATE TAG DOESNT DO WHAT YOU AND LONG TIME BACK I WAS EXPECTING FROM IT. If struts is smart enough to figure out logic:iterate and put out the attributes of each bean from the collection neatly for editing, why is it not smart enough to figure out which element the user edited and put the changed value back in the right property of the right bean in original collection? Why do I need to have both: * the Collection attribute for loading up my edit page AND * the string array for every editable attribute to track the edits made by the user? THERE ARE LOTS OF WAYS BY WHICH WE CAN TELL STRUTS TO AUTOMATICALLY POPULATE THE FIELDS OF COLLECTION WHEN THE FORM IS SUBMITTED. STILL YOU CAN USE THE STRING ARRAY AND GET THE WORK DONE. USING COLLECTION ATTIRBUTES IN EASIER APPROACH. HERE IS THE LINK WHICH WILL EXPLAIN IN DETAIL HOW IS IT DONE. http://technology.amis.nl/blog/index.php?p=176 I HOPE IT SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM Thanks!
