You may want to look at type conversion [1] and VisitorValidator [2] to validate those form fields.
Also, please note that collection indexing is done with [square] brackets, like in: "persons[2].name" [1] http://struts.apache.org/2.1.2/docs/type-conversion.html#TypeConversion-AnadvancedexampleforindexedListsandMaps [2] http://struts.apache.org/2.1.2/docs/visitor-validator.html 2008/10/16 Julio Alberto Jalón <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > May I didn't explain myself correctly.
