Accessing an element of a list, whose position is given as URL parameter

[Stephane Weber]

Hi all,

I have a java object which is in session. It is a list (userList).
I also get an id value in my URL.
I would like to use this id as the position in the list from which to retrieve an element.

Not-working code:

<bean arameter id="idxUser" name="id" />
<bean efine id="test" name="sessionController" property="userList[$(idxUser)]"/>

Working code (where I hardcode a test value):

<bean arameter id="idxUser" name="id" />
<bean efine id="test" name="sessionController" property="userList[0]"/>

Does anyone know how to solve this ?

Thanks,

Stephane

P.S. I am using Struts 1.1, if this is any help ...

property="userList[${idxUser}]"/>

might work with bean-el tags.

Also, if you were iterating through a bunch of users to display them all, you wouldn't have to specify the index.
