DynaValidatorForm and nested tags.
I have a jsp which is FORM1
using DynaValidatorForm for this.
there is a table in this which has to display they the contents other form?
can we do this using DynaValidatorForm? i.e one of it's attribute being
another form?
Also, when exactly do we have to use the nested tags?
Thanks.

thanks, Laurie.
Now I can think of an alternative way to do this. I filed an enhancement
request in Bugzilla.

I'm pretty sure that isn't supported; I wanted to do exactly that
recently but, looking through the code, it appears you can't. It seems
like it'd be a pretty useful thing to be able to do, though. Maybe you
could file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

I was under the imporession that something like this should work
<form-bean name="Form1" type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm"
dynamic="true">
<form-property name="property1" type="java.lang.Integer"/>
<form-property name="property2" type="java.lang.Integer"/>

I'm guessing you could just simply nest DynaValidatorForms (but I'm sure
you'll want to use 'Lazy' ones otherwise you'll have some problems when the
form submits - indexOutOfBoundsExceptions), but I think it might be cleaner
to just nest a LazyDynaBean as a property of your LazyDynaForm. Others on
this List have much more experience working with DynaBeans/Forms than me, so
they might have better suggestions.

Slight correction to above (copy and past problems when trying to make it
generic):
<c:forEach items="${yourForm.listOf_A_Beans}" var="beanA"
varStatus="beanAlistStatus">
<html:text property="listOf_A_Beans[${beanAlistStatus.index}].someProperty"
value="${beanA.someProperty}" /><br>
<c:forEach items="${beanA.listOf_B_Beans}" var="beanB"
varStatus="beanBlistStatus">
<html:text property="listOf_A_Beans[${beanAlistStatus.index
}].listOf_B_Beans[${beanBlistStatus.index}].someProperty" value="${
beanB.someProperty}" /><br>

Thanks. I sure can see the difference.
can we use a DynaValidatorForm as an attribute in another DynaValidatorForm?

You don't have to use them, but they make things easier/cleaner when you
need to display fields that are updatable that are nested. For example here
are two ways.. one with JSTL and one with nested (I think you'd agree the
second syntax is easier to read).
<c:forEach items="${yourForm.listOf_A_Beans}" var="beanA"
varStatus="beanAlistStatus">
<html:text property="listOf_A_Beans[${beanAlistStatus.index}].someProperty"
value="${beanA.someProperty}" /><br>
<c:forEach items="${beanA.listOf_B_Beans}" var="beanB"
varStatus="beanBlistStatus">
<html:text property="listOf_A_Beans[${beanAlistStatus.index
}].listOf_B_Beans[${beanBlistStatus.index}].name" value="${
beanB.someProperty}" /><br>
</c:forEach>
</c:forEach>
<nested:iterate property="listOf_A_Beans">
<nested:text property="someProperty" /><br>
<nested:iterate property="listOf_B_Beans">
<nested:text property="someProperty" /><br>
</nested:iterate>
