Where to store collection when using DynaValidatorForm?

[Steven Santiago <sm...@neca.com>]

My validation works properly except the collection set on my form which
is of type org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm is not present
when the page fails validation. This is not an issue if I simple set the
collection in the session.

[snip]
session.setAttribute("dxCodeCategories", dxCodeCategories);

I do not really want to store this in the session when I should be able
to do something like:

DynaValidatorForm dxCodeForm = (DynaValidatorForm)form;
dxCodeForm.set("dxCodeCategories", dxCodeCategories);

in the Action that I use to set this .jsp initially. The above works
when initially displaying my .jsp but not for when validation fails. I
have my form defined like this:

<form-bean name="CodeSearchForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm" dynamic="true">
<form-property name="codeDescription"   type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="codeName"          type="java.lang.String"/>	
<form-property name="dxCodeCategories"  type="java.util.ArrayList" />
</form-bean>

Am I doing something incorrectly? I'm curious how others handle this.

Thanks,

steve
