Again: ArrayList not getting values assigned from the JSP form on add or submit

[Scott Ottesen <so...@utah.gov>]

Hello-

MY APOLOGIES! First post did not work; all example code didn't send right and was strung together....
 
I've searched high & low and did my homework to no avail on this problem...
 
I have a Struts web app that includes a wizard input (multiple JSP pages and form-properties to one form-bean).  Page 2 (JSP) of the wizard includes a table where the user will input information to be stored into an ArrayList, and subsequently be stored to an Oracle database via Hibernate.
 
When the page comes up for editing, an "Add" button appears.  When you click the button, it opens a new table row for editing.  You enter information; so far, so good.  Now, when you click add again to open another row, the second row opens, but the first row of information you typed in disappears!
 
Furthermore, when testing values from the action code, it appears that my ArrayList assignment isn't getting the information from the JSP (or DynaArrayValidation) form.  What could be wrong?  Below are my code examples:

<h5>Matching Funds:</H5>

                    return (new ActionForward(mapping.getInput()));
