JSP Expression inside Struts html:text property

[Jonathan Hawkins <jh...@chestnet.org>]

Howdy -

I have some JSP code that looks like this:



<% for(int x=1;x <=7;x++){ %>
<html:text property="person<%=x%>" value=""/>
<% } %>


of course I was expecting the HTML output to be something like:

<input type="text" name="person1" value="">
<input type="text" name="person2" value="">
<input type="text" name="person3" value="">
<input type="text" name="person4" value="">
<input type="text" name="person5" value="">
<input type="text" name="person6" value="">
<input type="text" name="person7" value="">

Instead I am getting :


<input type="text" name="person<%=x%>" value="">
<input type="text" name="person<%=x%>" value="">
<input type="text" name="person<%=x%>" value="">
<input type="text" name="person<%=x%>" value="">
<input type="text" name="person<%=x%>" value="">
<input type="text" name="person<%=x%>" value="">
<input type="text" name="person<%=x%>" value="">

Anyone have another way to achieve the desired output? I looked into 
the html:logic tag and think that may be the way to go, but I can't 
find an example
Please help........super powers......failing.........must .....stop 
evil........bad code before it's........too late............


thanks
jonathan

Re: JSP Expression inside Struts html:text property

When you want to use Runtime Expression in a JSP tag, the full tag attribute value must be RTexpression, not just part
of it :

<html:text property="<%= \"person\" + x %>" value=""/>


In your case you should think using indexed properties and logic:iterate to display your datas.
