A polymorphic array would be my suggestion.
Have an array of objects which contain an identifier for the struts tag
type, and the data needed to populate it. For example;
In your action you would have ;
private MyPolyObject[] blah;
Where MyPolyObject contains;
class MyPolyObject {
private int type
private String value
...
}
Then your JSP has
<s:iterator value="blah">
<s:if test="type==1">
<s:property value="%{value}">
</s:if>
<s:elseif test="type==2">
<s:textfield value="%{value}">
</s:elseif>
....
</s:iterator>
You can then build extend MyPolyObject into classes which hold the
information for specific types (e.g. a Map for the s:select type).
Hope this helps.
Al.

Subject: Re: Outputting raw HTML with s:property tag
OK, here's what I'm doing: I am generating forms from external data.
Meaning, I have some XML files, based on which, I am generating a form.
Normally I could do this without Actions, but rather include a bean into a
JSP file (am I right about that?)
However, I also need to use request and response information, and that is
why I was trying to do this through an action.
Perhaps you have some suggestions for me?
Thanks.
