Re: HashMap of Vectors and Indexed Properies

[Mark Lowe]

Perhaps (again I have no tried)

<html:text property="address(texas).street" indexed="true" />

might render to

<input type="text" name="address(texas).street[0]" >

Never tried what you're doing but.

<html:text name="address(texas)" property="street" indexed="true" />

may render to

<input name="addess(texas)[0].street" type="text">

Just realized I missprinted something, my code now looks like:

<html:text name="myForm" 
property="address(texas).element[0].street1"/>
not
<html:text name="myForm" 
property="address(texas).getElement[0].street1"/>
as the "get" is not needed.

But again, let me know if anyone has any ideas on how I can get this 
working without subclassing
Vector.

Thanks,

Craig.

I have a property on my form bean I setup to work with Map-backed 
properties.  Basically the hash
map backing the property is keyed by region and contains an Address 
object representing a company's
office within that region.

So something like:

<html:text name="myForm" property="address(texas).street1"/> would 
correctly render the
getStreet1()
property of my address object which was in the hash slot for the 
region "texas".

Requirements have changed in our project and now we must support 
multiple addresses for a company
within a region.  So I converted my hash map to hold a Vector of 
addresses instead of a single
address per region.  I changed my jsp accordingly:

<html:text name="myForm" property="address(texas)[0].street1"/> 
however that didn't work I get an
error, this (in my mind) should grab me the first address within 
vector of adresses pointed to in
the texas slot and display the street1 property.

Since my underlying value being passed back by address(texas) is a 
Vector, I decided to try:

<html:text name="myForm" property="address(texas).get[0].street1"/>. 
 That doesn't work either
because the only "true" prorperties for Vector are getClass(), 
getSize() and isEmpty().  If the
"get" method on Vector was named "getElement" or something, I could 
get it to work via:

<html:text name="myForm" 
property="address(texas).getElement[0].street1"/>.  Until I find the
correct answer, I'm going to have to subclass Vector and add this 
new getElement(int) method just
so
I can get this to work.

Has anyone else gotten a similar scenario to work using the existing 
PropertyUtils syntax for
naming
nested/indexed/mapped properties?  Is subclassing Vector the only 
way to go here?

Thanks,

Craig
