Bean-based hyperlink not working

[Alana Sparx]

Hi

I am sure this is down to something simple, but I'm having no luck with it.

<logic:iterate id="listAccountIds" 
               name="customerDataForm" 
               property="accountIdList" 
               scope="session">
  <TD>
    <html:link action="/EligabilityPolicySubmit" 
             paramName="customerDataForm" 
             paramProperty ="accountIdList">
      <bean:write name="listAccountIds"/>
    </html:link>
 </TD>
</logic:iterate>

I am retreiving a collection of numbers from my business tier, iterating through this and displaying the contents as hyperlinks as per the above code. The html source generated by the above displays as:

<TABLE  border="1" cellspacing="1">
  <TR>
    <TD>Account Numbers</TD>
    <TD>
      <a href="/simplesignon/EligabilityPolicySubmit.do">45879</a>
    </TD>
    <TD>
      <a href="/simplesignon/EligabilityPolicySubmit.do">2369845</a>
    </TD>
    <TD>
      <a href="/simplesignon/EligabilityPolicySubmit.do">9862143</a>
    </TD>
   </TR>
</TABLE>

What appears to be happening is that if I click on the hyperlink, the entire collection is sent to the ActionServlet. I can also send 'null', but am having difficulty in just sending the value represented within the hyperlink.

Your help, as always, appreciated.

Still not working: have included some other info;
[code]
THe struts-config action

<action
path="/EligabilityPolicySubmit"
type="app.EligabilityPolicyAction"
name="eligabilityForm"
scope="request"
validate="true"
input="/pages/EligabilityQuery.jsp">
<forward
name="success"
path="/pages/EligabilityPolicyDisplay.jsp"/>
</action>

The struts-config form bean

<form-bean
name="eligabilityForm"
type="app.EligabilityPolicyForm"/>

The eligability form bean
/..
public void setPolicyNumber(String policyNumber){this.policyNumber = policyNumber;}
public String getPolicyNumber(){return policyNumber;}
public void setDescription(String description){this.description = description;}
public String getDescription(){return description;}
public void setPolicyId(String policyId){this.policyId = policyId;}
public String getPolicyId(){return policyId;}
../
[code]

Thanx

First off...the id attribute of the logic:iterate is the name of the current item retrieved from the list. It seems that a name like "accountId" would be better than "listAccountIds". Second...I would expect your html:link tag to reference the current item (your id attribute) and included a paramId. I am not real clear what your beans look like (you mention account id and policy id). Maybe something like this would work:

<logic:iterate
        id="accountId" 
        name="customerDataForm" 
        property="accountIdList" 
        scope="session">
    <td>
        <html:link
                action="/EligabilityPolicySubmit" 
                paramId="policyId" 
                paramName="accountId" 
            <bean:write name="accountId"/>
        </html:link>
    </td>
</logic:iterate>

This should generate links with a parameter "policyId" like this:

<a href="/simplesignon/EligabilityPolicySubmit.do?policyId=45879">45879</a>

Cheers Brent

I was getting mixed-up between what each of the tags specifically referred to, but managed to get some feedback on comp.lang.java.programmer, to the effect my link now looks like:

<logic:iterate id="row"
       name="customerDataForm"
       property="accountIdList"
       scope="session">
  <TD>Policy Id:    
    <html:link action="/EligabilityPolicySubmit"
       paramProperty="policyId"
       paramId="policyId"
       paramName="row">
      <bean:write name="row" property="policyId"/>
    </html:link>
../

Cheers
