Array of Beans used in an ActionForm

["Clauss, Arne" <Ar...@gedas.de>]

Hello!

Is is possible to deal with an Array of Beans in an AtionForm?

It should look like this:

public class TestForm extends ActionForm {
	private DataBean[] dataBeans = DataBean[size_of_array];

	getter and setter methods
}

public class DataBean {
	private String name="";
	private int id = 0;

	getter and setter methods
}

Searching the list I have found the following important facts:

- It is important to have an default construktor in the ActionForm, which
creates an instance of the Array.

Have somebody some code example to help me?

Kind regards,

Arne

If you want to use an array for a property that your JSP uses as indexed (i.e. property="data(n)") you will have to
define indexed getters and setters :

public void setData(index i, String value) {
    this.data[i] = value;
}

public String getData(index i) {
    return this.data[i];
}

Struts will not create an instace of the array for you when it creates or populates the formBean. Your form-bean has to
create the array in the "good" size before population occurs.
