Editing tabular data

[James Howe <jw...@allencreek.com>]

I'm currently in the process of coding a Struts-based JSP page which will 
let my user edit a table of values.  I started out by creating a read-only 
display of values  using the logic:iterate tag and bean:write tags.  The 
object associated with the iterate tag answers a collection of beans and I 
have several bean:write tags which are used to display the properties of 
the bean.  It looks something like this:

<logic:iterate id="bean" name="beanCollector" property="beanCollection">
    <tr>
	<td width=70><bean:write name="bean" property="prop1" filter="false"/></td>
	<td width=70><bean:write name="bean" property="prop2" filter="false"/></td>
	[.... more attributes ...]
    </tr>
</logic:iterate>

I'm now somewhat at a loss as to how to construct a screen which will let 
the user update any and all fields in the table and save them.	Can anybody 
provide and example of how I might go about building a page which can edit 
a table of information?

Thanks.
