Binding form parameters on bean with collection property

[paul]

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

customer.order[0].productId

result in a call like

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

What is the best approach here?
Thanks!

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

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

For the equally curious: my example above

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

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