[s2] Updating a List of objects

[Mark Menard]

I'd just like to be sure that I'm on the right path. I did my first update
action that is operating on a List of objects similar to the example from
the Showcase. Difference is I can't recreate them, like the Showcase does.

So, I got my List of objects from the database, then threw them into a Map
keyed on the id of the objects. I then exposed the Map with a getter on the
action.

In the JSP I iterate over the List, but use references to the Map using OGNL
notation:

<s:iterator value="partyRoleTypes">

    <s:select name="partyRoleTypesMap['%{id}'].isActive"
        value="%{isActive}" list="yesNoList" listKey="value"
        listValue="label" />

    <s:textfield name="partyRoleTypesMap['%{id}'].shortDescription"
        value="%{shortDescription}" />

    <s:textfield name="partyRoleTypesMap['%{id}'].description"
        value="%{description}" size="50" />

</s:iterator>

Is this a reasonable approach to updating a list of items? Or is there
another recommended best practice for this?

Thanks,

Mark
