Indexed Properties Help

[Dom Lassy]

I have a DynaValidatorForm defined as such:
<form-bean name="DynamicBuilderForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="builderDTO" type="com.whatever.DynamicBenefitBuilderForm"/>
</form-bean>

DynamicBenefitBuilderForm has the following:
DynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry[] dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry = new DynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry[11];
public DynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry[] getDynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry() {
return dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry;
}
public void setDynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry(DynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry[] dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry) {
this.dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry = dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry;
}
public DynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry getDynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry(int index) {
return dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry[index];
}
public void setDynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry(int index, DynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry rowEntry) {
dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry[index] = rowEntry;
}

My JSP has the following:
<logic:iterate name="DynamicBuilderForm" property="builderDTO.dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry" id="dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry" indexId="currentIndex">
<html:text name="dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry" property="rowName" indexed="true"/>
</logic:iterate>

The HTML that the jsp outputs is:
<input type="text" name="dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry[0].rowName">

What I need it to output is something like this I believe:
builderDTO.dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry[0].rowName so that struts can call

getBuilderDTO().getDynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry(0).setRowName(value) but I'm having problems.

Is it even possible to use indexed properties inside of another property of a DynaValidatorForm?

EDIT:
Loading the default values works correctly, saving them to the form does not. I am not getting any exceptions (this code is a short snippet of the production code so what I posted may have errors.

I don't understand why I'm NOT getting any exceptions becuase it looks like
getDynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry(0).setName(value) would be called on the DynaValidatorForm which does not have that method. Any help would be appreciated.

I understand that I can rewrite the DynaValidatorForm to a standard ActionForm that I could get to solve the problem, but I was wondering if there was a more correct way to do so. Thanks.

I am not sure. Maybe you could change the id attribute of your iterate tag to use "builderDTO.dynamicBenefitBuilderRowEntry". Another option is to not use the indexed="true" attribute and build the indexed name yourself using some scriptlet code.

An example of using scriptlet code is shown in the "Dynamic Indexes for Indexed Properties" section of this page: http://struts.apache.org/1.x/struts-taglib/indexedprops.html
