Mapped Properties

[David Mulligan <da...@LECAN.ie>]

I am trying to use dynamically generated forms with Struts. Since the form
is dynamic I will not know the form fields until runtime. 

After a lot of time searching throught the mailing list I found Mapped
Properties.
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/indexedprops.html#mappedprops

But for some strange reason I can't get them to work
In my page I got 

<input type="hidden" name="randomData"        value="xxx">
<input type="hidden" name="dynaField(title1)" value="theValue1">
<input type="hidden" name="dynaField(title2)" value="theValue2">

and in the form 

public class TheForm extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm {
    private Map dynaField = new HashMap();
    private String randomData;

    public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
        super.reset(mapping, request);
        this.dynaField.clear();
        this.randomData=null;
    }

    public void setDynaField(String key, Object value) {
        dynaField.put(key, value);
    }

    public Object getDynaField(String key) {
        return dynaField.get(key);
    }

    public Map getDynaField() {
        return dynaField;
    }

    public String getRandomData() {
        return randomData;
    }
    public void setRandomData(String randomData) {
        this.randomData = randomData;
    }
}


The strange part is the randomData gets loaded correctly and the dynaField
map doesn't!
Should my Form extends something other then ActionForm? Is there any working
examples?

I'm using Struts-1.1b3

Tnx.
