displaying data from arrays with html:text

[Marek Lapin]

Hi
I have an array of strings as property in my ActionForm.
I want to display its content into text boxes (each string into its text box) without using struts nested extensions.

How to do it ?

if i use logic:iterate to go trough the collection (array) then i have to specify a bean (html:logic id="beanName") that will repesent the current object of the collection i am iterating
but the html:text uses a property of a bean. the current bean is just a plain java Strign object.. how can i get its value to the html:text ?

example

MyActionForm extends ActionFOrm
{
  private String[] names;
  public String[] getNames(){ return names; }
  public void setNames(String[] names){ this.names = names; }
}

in JSP..

<logic:iterate id="name" name="names">
<html:text property="????">
</logic:iterate>

Try this:

  
<%
  String []names = new String [] {"SNN#", "FirstName", "LastName", "Phone"};
  pageContext.setAttribute("myCollection", names);
%>
 
<html:errors/>
 
<form>
 
<logic:iterate id="item" name="myCollection">
  <input name="mytextfields" value='<bean:write name="item"/>'>
</logic:iterate>
 
</form>

Thanks for advice

BUT i preffer the 'pure' approach so i need to use only Struts

well, mixing struts and jsp tags.. eah, ugly

Add these methods to your form bean.

public String getNames(int index) { 
    return names[index]; 
}
    
public void setNames(int index, String value) { 
    names[index] = value; 
}

In your jsp, try this.

<logic:iterate id="names" name="myActionForm" property="names">
    <html:text property="names" indexed="true" />
</logic:iterate>
