Dynamic Forms

[Adrian Cunningham <a....@kainos.com>]

Hi,
 
I am writing a JSP that will contain a dynamic form.  It basically
consists of a table in which each row contains various form elements,
the number of rows in the table is variable.  For example:
 
...
 
<%
 for(int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
 {
%>
 
<tr>
 <td>
  <html:text property="sTitle<%= i %>_i" />
 </td>
 <td>
  <html:text property="sForname<%= i %>_i" />
 </td>
 <td>
  <html:text property="sSurname<%= i %>_i" />
 </td>
</tr>

<%
 }
%>
 
As you can see from the example I use a for loop to dynamically create
the rows in the table.  As a result I need to specify unique names for
each of the properites in the form so I also dynamically create the
property names.  For this reason I can't use the ActionForm as it
requires the properties, getters and setters to be defined.
 
I thought the solution to my problem would be DynaActionForm but again
it requires the properties to be specified in the struts-config.xml
file, same problem.
 
So how can I implement dynamic forms using Struts without having to
write the form class and defining all my properties, getters and
setters.
 
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance.
