How to get Iterating value in a list of VO struts2

[kokila mahadev]

Hi I am new to struts2 and got a problem Please help me to resolve this. I have a separate list for row and column iteration. I have to save it in database as each row. I dont know how to set the iterating value in hidden and dont know how to get that in action. If I give the key like in the following code without name I can get the value but how to create a object for that hidden in action.

<s:iterator status="stat" value="taskdet">
<tr>
<td width="300px" align="left"><s:property value="taskid"/>.<s:property value="taskname"/></td>
<s:iterator value="daylist" status="stringStatus">
<td><s:textfield name="taskmain.hours" value=""></s:textfield></td><td width="50px" align="center">|</td>
<s:hidden key="taskdet[%{#stat.index}].taskid" /><s:hidden name="taskmain.dateoftask" value="%{[0].toString()}"/>
</s:iterator>
</tr>
</s:iterator>

Hi Kokila, Welcome to the Ranch.

use code tags in your post

Hi Kokila,

I'm not sure if I understand your problem correctly, but struts 2 supports list of values in your action if you use indexes in your hidden fields. Basically you would need to submit your values to the action like this

list[0].firstname = Kokila
list[0].lastname = Mahadev
list[1].firstname = Ankit
list[1].lastname = Garg

That way Struts will make you a list of objects. You can use the syntax you are already using to generate hidden fields with that sort of names i.e. something like this

<s:hidden name="list[%{#stat.index}].firstname" value="actualValue" />
<s:hidden name="list[%{#stat.index}].lastname" value="actualValue" />

Thanks for your reply Ankit. It got resolved I use ActionContext.getContext().getParameters() to get value of that list.
