Editing a List of Strings

["Jon.Ridgway" <Jo...@upco.co.uk>]

Hi All,
 
I believe this should be possible, but can't find a way to make it work...
 
I have a List of Strings within a logic:iterate block and want to edit them
using html:text. This tag however requires a property attribute so the
RequestUtils.populate method knows which setter to call when the form is
submitted. As a String doesn't have a getter or setter I can't see a way to
make this work. Is there a way?
 
I have tried changing the struts-html.tld so that property is not required
and I'm currently looking at the RequestUtils source to see if I can make it
work; I thought I'd better check with you lot however before I waste anymore
time, there must be a way to edit a List of Strings???
 
Jon

It's a bit of a hack, but you could try this (I haven't tested it, so excuse
any typos, but should you get the idea :

public class StringBean {
	String string;
	public StringBean(String string) { this.string = string; }
	public String getString() { return string; }
	public void setString(String string) { this.string = string; }
	public String toString() { return string; }
}

Then make your collection a set of stringbeans instead of strings ?
