Binding form parameters on bean with collection property

I'm using a SimpleFormController with a bean that has a collection property. Consider for example a orders property (a List of Orders), on a Customer bean. Is it possible to bind the parameters on the nested Order bean using the standard property paths as request parameter names?

In other words, will a form parameter name like

Code:

---

customer.order[0].productId

---

result in a call like

Code:

---

customer.getOrder().get(0).setProductId

---

What is the best approach here?
Thanks!

Take a look at:

Ok, thanks, this helped! I'm trying it out right now.

Just out of curiosity, this seems to be implemented at the bind jsp tag level. I'm wondering wether a setProperty() on the BeanWrapper with a path like this would also work. So let's say

Code:

---

BeanWrapper bw = (...);
bw.setProperty("person.addresses[2].street", "");

---

For the equally curious: my example above

Code:

---

BeanWrapper bw = (...);
bw.setProperty("person.addresses[2].street", "NY Blvd");

---

works perfectly on both Arrays and Lists (ArrayLists). Cool.
