logic iterate something wrong

[Pranav Sharma]

in my action:
I have an arrayList(called names) of objects. and i set this arraylist in my form.

in my jsp i do this:

 
<logic :-P	 resent name="TestingForm">
<logic:iterate name="TestingForm" property="names" id="names" >
<html:text  name="names" property="name" indexed="true" />
</logic:iterate>
 
however when i submit this jsp i get a exceptioin in beanutils.populate.
 
What am I doing wrong?? 
</logic :-P	 resent>

Can you attach the exact error message that gets printed in the console so that it would get a better idea of what is going wrong here ??

DO you have an attribute name in your object ??

Try giving the TYPE attribute in logic:iterate, that may help to cast it to the right object..

[Pranav Sharma]

yes.
and did'nt work

I think that when you are submitting the page, the arrayList is no longer full of name objects (I'm assuming you are using request scope). So Struts says, "Give me name #x from the arrayList so I can call setName() on it. What? There's no object? Exception!"

Here's a few methods for getting around this problem.

[Pranav Sharma]

that was it!!!
a little more info in the error would have been great.. but hey alls well that ends working...

thanks Marc
