I'm trying to make a form that can contain an arbitrary number of attribute
choices. Think of a tshirt with color and size.
I have a Product that contains Variations (size, color) that contain
VariationItems (blue, XL).
The variation can be either a dropdown or a radio button set.
<s:iterator value="product.variations" status="variation">
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
we have a variation <s:property value="name" />
</td>
</tr>
<s:if test="display == 'radio'">
<s:radio listKey="num" listValue="value" list="itemList"
name="variation[%{#variation.index}].num" />
</s:if>
<s:if test="display == 'dropdown'">
<s:select list="itemList" listKey="num" listValue="value"
name="variation[%{#variation.index}].num" ></s:select>
</s:if>
</table>
</s:iterator>
