OGNL and parameter binding

[Wes Wannemacher <we...@wantii.com>]

I am working on a new result-type and I want to put a field on the
result like this -

List<Map<String,String>> blah...

I looked a bit at the HttpHeadersResult because it has an incoming
HashMap<String,String> as one of the fields and you can set it via
OGNL using <param name="header.a">blah</param> and 'a' becomes the key
and 'blah' becomes the value. It seems like OGNL finds a method called
addHeader(String,String) to do it... Is there a way to do the same
sort of thing, but to push the map data into a list? If memory serves,
collections have to be instantiated, and that seems to be my stopping
point. I know I read about this somewhere, but I can't find it, and
ognl.org has disappeared from the 'net.

BTW, I'm using xwork 2.1.4, but will upgrade if Musachy's recent
changes can help me.

-Wes

did you try something like:

<param name="mylist">${#{'key': 'value'}}</param>
