Hi,

It need to iterate through an object containing business information. For each business, I need to print out information about the business and also a submit button for "View Details" (similar to rent.com). I'm using nested:iterate, nested:form and nested:submit.

My problem is, when a use clicks on the "View Details" button, how will I be able to know which record was selected. Most importantly, I need to know the businessID of the business the user clicked.

Here's my code:

example of my business object:

SearchResultsDTO results1 = new SearchResultsDTO();
results1.setBusinessID("1708");
results1.setBusinessName("CybexWare Corp.");
results1.setCity("New York");
results1.setState("NY");
results1.setZipCode("84940");
results1.setServiceDetails("lkel ejlj eiel eoi eiu e ieirne euhahiu i rjehio eriherhreihiurh urhiru");

struts-config.xml:

<form-bean name="SearchResultForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<!-- Dynamic properties of the Search Results Form -->
<form-property name="SearchResultsDTOs" type="java.util.Collection" />
<form-property name="selectedBusiness" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="businessName" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="businessID" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="city" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="state" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="zipCode" type="java.lang.String" />
<form-property name="serviceDetails" type="java.lang.String" />
</form-bean>

My JSP:

<nested:form name="SearchResultForm" action="/searchDetails" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">

<nested:iterate id="searchResults" property="SearchResultsDTOs" indexId="index">

<table width="384" border="0">
<tr>
<td><img width="75" height="85" src="../images/HairHut.bmp"></td>
<td width="327"><table width="327" height="115" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="197">
<table>
<tr>

<td><b><nested:write property="businessName" /></b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><nested:write property="city" />, <nested:write property="state" /> <nested:write property="zipCode" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td width="108" align="right" valign="top">
<nested:submit property="submit" value="View Details"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr></tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" colspan="2"><nested:write property="serviceDetails" /></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
</tr>
</table>
</nested:iterate>
</nested:form>


ThANks in Advance

Please do not cross-post the same question in multiple forums. It wastes people's time when multiple redundant conversations take place.

Please take special care not to post in forums that have little to do with your topic.
