Bean, logic:iterate and ActionForm

[Luke Zechariah]

I have the following classes:
A bean class by name AssistanceRequest:

 
private String notes = null;
private String arCurrentStatus=null;
   

the action form:

  AssistanceRequest [] arRequests = null;  

the action class:

  concurrentCaseInfoForm.setArRequests(arRqstArray);  

where arRqstArray is an array of AssistanceRequest objects i.e. bean objects.

On the jsp:

				<logic:iterate name="ConcurrentCaseInfoForm" id="item" property="arRequests">
					<tr>
	
						<td><bean:write name="item" property="arCurrentStatus" /></td>
						<html:text size="100" styleId="notesId" name="item" property="notes" />
					</tr>
				</logic:iterate>

What I am trying to acheive is when I change anything on the "notes" property, I am not able to see the changed value in the action when I submit. Previously I used to get a null pointer exception so I have made the scope session. This solves the exception but that does not show the changed value of the notes.

If you put a code like

  <html:text size="100" styleId="notesId" name="ConcurrentCaseInfoForm" property="notes" />  

(see I have changed the name to actionform in the above snippet) it will work fine, because the "notes" property will be in the form. But if you put a bean inside a form and then try to change it, when you submit I am not able to store the changed property of the bean in the form.

What I mean is after submitting, in the action class:

  
ConcurrentCaseInfoForm ccif = (ConcurrentCaseInfoForm) form;
AssistanceRequest [] aReqs = form.getArRequests();
for(int i=0; i<aReqs.length; i++)
{

System.out.println(aReqs[i].getNotes());
}

The value printed shows the previous values of the property "notes" not the updated values from the jsp. So I have to store the changed value of the bean in the form.

Please help and thanks for your time.

Luke.
