Hi again
> CurrencyValueList must be extending the CurrencyValue right!!
No. CurrencyValueList extends ActionForm. It contains one property that is a
"List" (as
in java.util.List. This property will contain a list of the CurencyValues.
So, to build this in your Action form you will have some loop that either reads
in values
of simply creates blank entries. I will create 5 blank entries in this example:
List mylist = new ArrayList();
for (int ix = 0; ix < 5; ix++) {
CurrencyValue cv = new CurrencyValue();
// if you were reading in values you could assign
// them to the formbean here
mylist.add(cv);
}
// mylist now contains 5 'CurrencyValue' elements
// let's set this list into the other formbean
CurrencyValueList cvl = new CurrencyValueList();
cvl.setEntries(mylist);
// finally we push this CurrencyValueList into the request scope
request.setAttribute("cvList", cvl);
> CurrencyValueList there are get and set methods for List?
Yes, I wrote them for you below.
> I created the String[][] in action.
Remove it, it's bad.
> how to convert that to a List?
As above. I usually use ArrayList(). This supports the abstract class
"Collection" which
Struts requires for iterating and also handles methods such as "add()" and
"size()".
These two methods will makeup 90% of your list handling.
Glad to know this is helping.
Kind regards
