Multirecord Form

[jorge.cue]

Hello,

Is there a way to handle an array of command objects in a form?

What I need is to show a list of command objects in a <table>, allow the operator to edit the <td> cells and maybe add or delete rows in the <table> (using JavaScript for example) and in the submit receive the list of command objects in the POST handler method.

Each <tr> in the table would be a command object and the grid is the full list.

Plea help, Thanks

You might find it easer to create a new class that more closely mimics the specific form you need to display. Then binding the form data to the form backing class becomes trivial, and you can write some simple logic on the server side to translate the form backing object into a collection of whatever your present domain objects.

<form:form modelAttribute="formModel" cssClass="compactForm">
   <table>
   <c:forEach items="${formModel.rows}" varStatus="loop">
      <tr>
         <td><form:checkbox path="rows[${loop.index}].selected" /></td>
         <td><form:input path="rows[${loop.index}].name" /></td>
      </tr>
   </c:forEach>
   </table>
</form:form>
