Hi Mike
Maybe I'm simplifying it somewhat and I'm not sure of your form-bean structure,
however the outer loop should loop through 'familymembers' as it is looping it
should
set a form-bean for the inner loop identifying a 'familymember'. I also like
to add the
type here - helps my inline documentation. So, outer loop should be:
<logic:iterate name="applicationForm" property="familymembers"
id="familymember"
type="controller.form.FamilyMemberForm">
Then we can add the inner loop in a similar manner, referencing the
'familymember'
defined in the outerloop:
<logic:iterate name="familymember" id="familyitem"
type="controller.form.FamilyItemForm">
Finally we can then display the input box for these items:
<html:text name="familyItem" property="dataProperty" size="${familyItem.size}"
readonly="${familyItem.readonly}">
Maybe this is too simplistic, sorry if I've missed the point somewhere.
Kind regards
mc
