Hi Niall,
Thanks for the reply! Apparantly this problem is quite difficult to get answer
upon. You're the only one until now.
Well, I was getting different exception in different scenario.
- When I put an array initialization (someWrappers = )in myForm's default
constructor, I would get Array Out Of Bound exceptions.
- When I don't do an array initialization for myForm (on REQUEST scope), I
would get a method invocation exception from BeanUtils.poulate() due to some
getter property descriptor that can't be found. (?) But I have declared all my
getters and setters (see fot your self below).
I checked my generated HTML sources (from JSP), but they are all rendered as
expected. That is, like you have specified below.
Weird, huh?
When I chang my scope to session... it seems to work. But I don't want my form
in sessin scope. (And if this is working indeed in session scope.... why not
for requests scope?)
The solution that you propose... I have seen it too on the internet. But this
solution does not guarantee the right order of the array elements. And order IS
a Requirement for my problem area.
You can't control which order http sends the request parameters in -
but theres no reason why you can't just "grow" your array to cope with
whatever size the indexed getter is asking for.
public SomeWrapper getSomeWrapper(int index) {
if (wrappers == null) {
wrappers = new SomeWrapper[index + 1];
}
// Grow the array
if (wrappers.length < index + 1) {
newWrappers = new SomeWrapper[index + 1];
System.arraycopy(wrappers, 0, newWrappers, 0, wrappers.length);
wrappers = newWrappers;
}
if (wrappers[index] == null) {
wrappers[index] = new SomeWrapper();
}
return wrappers[index];
}
LazyDynaBeans do this for you:

Also more info on "lazy" index growth is here on the wiki:

Any hints?
Kind regards,

REQUEST scope
So what BeanUtils exception are you getting?
Your jsp should be generating the following?
<input type=".." name="someWrapper[0].propA" ...>
<input type=".." name="someWrapper[1].propA" ...>
BeanUtils will try and access the indexed getter - getSomeWrapper(0)
and then call setPropA(...) - presumably its one of these methods ist
having problems with?
Anyway the problem usually with request scope beans is that when it
calls the getSomeWrapper(index) method the array isn't initialized and
it returns null - if you put logic to "automatically" grow your array
in the getSomeWrapper(index) method then it should solve this.
