Hi. I want to build a form that has a data entry grid. Each column has fields with the same name. The number of rows is not large but is only known at run-time (depending on the number of child records in the database). For example: id name quantity id name quantity id name quantity Previously, using servlets I used the HttpServletRequest method getParameterValues to get a String array of the values for each field. The perform method of the Struts Action class only seems to have one ActionForm associated with it rather than an array of ActionForms. Please, how can I build my form under Struts? More>>

You can define each column as an array, and Struts will
autopopulate it, like any other.


private String[] id= {};
public String[] getId() {
    return this.id;
}
public void setItem(String id[]) {
    this.id = id;
}

And so forth
