Binding Map with values that contains Lists.

[etschreiber]

I have a HashMap with String keys and List values:

List l1 = new ArrayList();
List l2 = new ArrayList();
List l3 = new ArrayList();

l1.add(""); l1.add("");
l2.add(""); l2.add("");
l3.add(""); l3.add("");

Map map = new HashMap();

map.put("key1",l1);
map.put("key2",l2);
map.put("key3",l3);

Is there a way to bind text fields to the strings in the list?

<input type="textfield" name="map&#91;key1&#93;&#91;0&#93;" value="value"/>
<input type="textfield" name="map&#91;key1&#93;&#91;1&#93;" value="value"/>

<input type="textfield" name="map&#91;key2&#93;&#91;0&#93;" value="value"/>
<input type="textfield" name="map&#91;key2&#93;&#91;1&#93;" value="value"/>

<input type="textfield" name="map&#91;key3&#93;&#91;0&#93;" value="value"/>
<input type="textfield" name="map&#91;key3&#93;&#91;1&#93;" value="value"/>

I would imagine that would be the mapping but it does not work. map[key1] works for a hashmap and list[0] works for a list but is there a way to combine? Do I need to write some custom binders to get this to work?

Thanks,

I was stuck on this for a few hours yesterday. I posted the question this morning and I figured it out as soon as I finished posting:

I had both the spring-1.1.1 and spring-1.1.4 jars in my lib dir cause I didn't do a clean build. I deleted the spring-1.1.1.jar and it started working! Apparently, this functionality is supported by spring-1.1.4 but not 1.1.1
