can't directly bind to a List

[czy11421]

I can't directly bind a List.

in the request, I have

employmentHistory[0].employmentHistoryPK=
employmentHistory[0].manager=fdsafdsa
employmentHistory[0].position=dsaffdsa
employmentHistory[0].salary=fdsafdsa

Then I directly bind it to a List

List<EmploymentHistory> employmentHistory =.....

ServletRequestDataBinder binder = new ServletRequestDataBinder(employmentHistory);

binder.bind(request);

The data is NOT binded to 'employmentHistory'.

How to fix it ?

Thanks.

With data binding request parameters are mapped to property fields of the target object. For example employmentHistory[0].foo translates to targetObject.getEmploymentHistory(0).setFoo(). In order for your example to work you need a target object to contain the employmentHistory.
