Did you try adding a public Map getChecklistItemNoteIds() method to your form bean, and access it with the JSTL syntax Paul provided?

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

....
</c:if>

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
