how to edit an array of records with action forms?

[Ian Tomey <Ia...@lombardrisk.com>]

Hi all,

Got an array of records and I want to put them onto the screen to edit. What is the technique to go about this? (i am using the nightly 1.1 at the moment)

is it create an action form that maps a single record and create a load of them? or create an action form with the properties being arrays of the information?

one form in total or one form per record?

i take it the indexed= attribute for the html tags is going to be useful?

It's not obvious how to do this and I just dont have time to expriement (deadline to meet). Any help appreciated

Cheers
Ian

If you're on a nightly build, you'll have the nested extension already 
there. It will help you make light work of iterating objects.

For a pimer and tutorial, go here...

And for mor implementation detail for each of the tags, the Struts site 
has the most complete info.

then you're in trouble mate!
Sorry i can't answer I've avoided editing in grids so far.
Beware that you'll end up with lots of <html:text tags & when you get up to 50
or more things can slow down horribly.
Search archive for '50 tags' you'll find stuff.
Search for 'display tag' & 'table tag' etc...
There has been something on this list before - I recall the answer being have 1
submit button & 1 form per row - try search on 'submit button per' or similar.
Best i can do.....
