My way to solve this kind of problem: (1) Use a DTO class as the data modal for columns of each row. Every column is represented by one property of the DTO class.
For example: public class Info { private boolean use; private String name; private int id; // getter and setter is omitted } (2) In the action class, use a property to represent the rows, and the data type of this property is List<DTO> . For example: private List<Info> infoList = new ArrayList<Info>(); // getter and setter is omitted // initialization code is omitted (3) In JSP, use a <interator> tag on the List, to display rows for each DTO instance: For example: <s:iterator value="infoList" status="rowStatus"> ID: <s:textfield name="infoList[%{#rowStatus.index}].id" /> Name: <s:textfield name="infoList[%{#rowStatus.index}].name" /> <s:checkbox label="Use" name="infoList[%{#rowStatus.index}].use"/> <br/> </s:iterator> The data initialized in action class will be display in your page, and the data inputted by user will be applied to the List<DTO> property. I think this is a better design, because the data modal is more compliant with OO principles.
