How to get the value (a String[] array) from a Form Bean in a javascript?

[Andre Lima]

Here is a sample of the code I'm using:


JSP page:

<script type="text/javascript">
function submitForm(){
...
productArray = new Array(forms[0].elements['productList']); <--- this is NOT working. I'm getting a non-valid value (see attached screenshot, which contains the value displayed by alert function below)
alert (productArray);
...
}
</script>

<html:hidden property="'productList'" />


Form Bean:

public class ProductForm extends ActionForm {
private String[] productList;

public void setProductList(String[] productList) {
this.productList= productList;
}

public String[] getProductList() {
return productList;
}
...
}


Please any suggestions?

Howdy, Andre. Welcome to JavaRanch!

Well, at a first glance, it looks like this code of yours won't work. You'll have to initialize your JavaScript array by iterating over your list (using the Struts' appropriate tags) and printing the values in each position of the JavaScript array.
