hi, i've a form bean with a map backed propery namend "orderedNumber". This property returns the number of ordered items for a given product id, eg. "getOrderedNumber(423)" returns the number of ordered items for the product with id=423. i want to validate the input (which is stored int the property orderedNumer(xx)) of a user for a product if it is a valid integer. the html form contains a list of html input tags with name="orderedNumber(xx)" where xx is an integer (the product id).
problem is, for validation, i don't know the product id beforehand as this is NOT a list backed property. how can i write a validation for such a map backed property if i don't know the parameter for the getter, what do i need to define in the <field property="yyy"> attribute? kr, guenther
