Hi Thanks for replying. I have tried that actually and it didn't work. In fact that particular example wont work for me unfortunately because my property isn't part of a map inside a DynaActionForm - it's just a normal member variable of a class that extends ActionForm.
I don't think the problem is getting hold of the values - they are there and I can write scriptlets to extract them. I think the problem is that EL isn't capable of accessing these types of properties. But, I could be wrong (I hope so because I hate having scriptlets in my JSPs) Thanks Richard -----Original Message----- From: Strachan, Paul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 11:23 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Map backed properties try something like: <c:if test="${formname.map.checklistItemNoteIds[120] == 7}"> ... </c:if> -----Original Message----- From: Gundersen, Richard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 4 December 2006 11:00 PM To: user@struts.apache.org Subject: Map backed properties Hi I've been happily working with map based properties in my forms for a while now, but I've come across something that I really can't figure out. I started off with a DynaValidatorForm, and in the mapping, I had this: <form-property name="checklistItemNoteIds" type="java.util.HashMap"/> I was able to use this nicely, by populating it in the action class, and storing it as a hidden field in my JSP like so: <html:hidden property="checklistItemNoteIds(${checklistItem.id})"/> That results in a nice: <input type="hidden" name="checklistItemNoteIds(120)" value="7"> But, I need to access the value of the property now to do some extra processing, something along the lines of <c:if test="${checklistItemNoteIds(120) == 7})"> // do this </c:if> And it doesn't work. I've even made my own concrete ActionForm class with these kinds of methods: public Object getChecklistItemNoteId(String key) { return checklistItemNoteIds.get(key); } With no success. Has anyone got this working? Thanks Richard *** Disclaimer *** This electronic communication is confidential and for the exclusive use of the addressee.
