Doubt in EL Implicit Objects

[sakthikumaran navakumar]

Hi all,

Name: <input type = "text" name = "name">

FirstFood: <input type = "text" name = "food">
SecondFood:<input type = "text" name = "food">

Can you clarify me whether the EL representation is possible using [] in the above given food case using paramValues.

Please also let me know the equivalent for ${param.name} and ${paramValues.food[0]} using [] representation?

Can you clarify me whether the EL representation is possible using [] in the above given food case using paramValues.

Yes, it's possible, but I'm not sure that the order will be guaranteed. So paramValues.food[0] does not necesseraly return FirstFood's value. You'll have to check that.

Please also let me know the equivalent for ${param.name} and ${paramValues.food[0]} using [] representation?

${param["name"]} and ${paramValues["food"][0]}

I'm pretty sure you are correct, Christophe.

It's typically a bad idea to have textfields with the same name.

The order should be preserved in the posting of the name/value pairs
