Loading list of radio buttons- Struts

Thank you for the solution, but looks like its not working. I dont know what i am doing wrong.

My form bean for example looks something like this.

<BEAN name="A">

<PROPERTY name="property1" type="java.util.List" containedType="B"/>

</BEAN>

<BEAN name="B">

<PROPERTY name="property2" type="java.lang.String"/>

<PROPERTY name="list" type="java.util.List" containedType="C"/>

</BEAN>

<BEAN name="C">

<PROPERTY name="id" type="java.lang.String" />distinct value for 'Yes' and 'No' from database

<PROPERTY name="textValue" type="String" />-Yes/No

</BEAN>

All the above properties have getter and setter methods. The "list" property is what u mentioned as a collection. list.id and list.textValue are available to me as they are coming from database. I need to assign the selection of Yes/No to "property2" of the form A.

Could you pls help me in this regard.

Thank you in advance.

More explicit....

Object RadioOptions

{String yesLabel,noLabel,yesValue,noValue;

String value;

//getter/setters

}

In Action form

{ArrayList questionRadioOptions;

//besides normal getter/setters

public void setQuestionRadioOptions(int index, RadioOptions radioOptions)

{questionRadioOptions.set(index, radioOptions);}

public RadioOptions getQuestionRadioOptions(String index)

{return (RadioOptions) questionRadioOptions.get(Integer.parseInt(index));}

}

In Action class //I am assuming you are getting data from databse here

//Fetch the data and create/populate object RadioOptions

//If you want to prepopulate the radio option with say Yes value then

radioOptions.setValue(databasevalue);

//add this object in an arraylist when all data has been fetched set it in form

form.setQuestionRadioOptions(arrayList) ;

Follow the jsp as in previous reply.Value is an important attribute here.

I had this problem...

I think you are creating radiooption for each such yes and no is it?If yes then that should not be the case.It should rather be...

One RadioOption object should represent both yes as well as no then only you will get the following radio option names in html view source

radioOption[1].yes for first set

radioOption[1].no

radioOption[2].yes for second set

radioOption[2].no

sai,

your bean C needs one more set of getter and setter to store noValues./text

<BEAN name="C">

<PROPERTY name="idYes" type="java.lang.String" access="get,set" />

<PROPERTY name="yesTextValue" type="String" access="get,set" />

<PROPERTY name="idNo" type="java.lang.String" access="get,set" />

<PROPERTY name="noTextValue" type="String" access="get,set" />

</BEAN>

When you populate that bean if it is 'Yes' then set yes fields else set 'No' fields.

then in jsp you would do..

I used nested tags which are convinient than logic tags..You can use it too.

I am not sure if this syntax is correct...for logic

<logic:iterate property="a" name="AForm" >

<bean:define id="b" property="b" type="java.util.List"/>

<bean:define id="yesValue" property="idYes" name="b"/>

<html:radio idName="b" property="idYes" value = "<%=yesValue%>" />

<bean:write idName="b" property = "yesTextValue"/>

//this will render radio as <input type="radio" name="a[0].value" value="yes">yes

//for no

<bean:define id="noValue" property="idNo" name="b"/>

<html:radio idName="b" property="idNo" value = "<%=noValue%>" />

<bean:write idName="b" property = "noTextValue"/>

//this will render radio as <input type="radio" name="a[0].value" value="no">No

</logic:iterate>

for nested it would be

<nested:iterate property="a" name="AForm">

//generate radio option for yes

<nested:define id="idYesValue" property="idYes" type="java.lang.String"/>

<nested:radio value='<%=idYesValue%>' property="value"/>

<nested:write property="yesTextValue"/>

//generate radio option for no

<nested:define id="idNoValue" property="idNo" type="java.lang.String"/>

<nested:radio value='<%=idNoValue%>' property="value"/>

<nested:write property="noTextValue"/>

</nested:iterate>

I used the following code to populate the drop down list. I forgot to put this in the prev message. So thought this might help ....

<html:select name="a" property="b" styleClass="formElementSelect" indexed="true">

<html:optionsCollection name="a" property="selectOptionsList" label="textValue" value="id" />

</html:select>

Formbean properties and names correspond to my prev message
