nested:iterate and setting of parameter

[Per Jørgen Walstrøm <pe...@statnett.no>]

hello,
I use Struts 1.2.7 and in my jsp, I have the following nested elements:

<nested:iterate id="sectionGroupElement" name="crudOutageForm" property="geSectionGroups">
   <nested:iterate id="sectionGroupCommentsElement" name="sectionGroupElement" property="geSectionGroupComments">	
      <bean:message key="crudOutage.comment"/>:
      <nested:textarea name="sectionGroupCommentsElement" property="geComment.remark"/>	
   </nested:iterate>
</nested:iterate>

my form, crudOutageForm, contains the following fields, with getters and setters:
private Collection geSectionGroups;

this collection contains objects of GeSectionGroup. In GeSectionGroup.java, I have the following field (with getter and setter):
private Set geSectionGroupComments;

geSectionGroupComments contains objects of GeSectionGroupComment. In GeSectionGroupComment.java, I have the following field (with getter and setter):
private GeComment geComment;

GeComment.java contains
private String remark;

It is this 'remark' I am trying to set, but I am not succeeding in doing so. When submitting my form, the request parameter is named "geComment.remark", and this of course has no setter in my crudOutageForm. I tried to use the indexed=true attribute, like this

<nested:textarea indexed="true" name="sectionGroupCommentsElement" property="geComment.remark"/>

The request parameter is then named "sectionGroupCommentsElement[0].geComment.remark", which also is not sufficient. I would need something like
geSectionGroups[0].geSectionGroupComments[0].geComment.remark

I may be naive, but I was kind of hoping for Struts to be able to set that "remark"-parameter automagically. Obviously, it doesn't ;-(

Any suggestions?

best regards,
Per

Try this:
<nested:root name="crudOutageForm">
<nested:iterate property="geSectionGroups">
   <nested:iterate property="geSectionGroupComments">      
      <bean:message key="crudOutage.comment"/>:
      <nested:textarea property="geComment.remark"/>
   </nested:iterate>
</nested:iterate>
</nested:root>
 
This should create request parms like: geSectionGroups[0].geSectionGroupComments[0].geComment.remark.
