Array of Text Boxes to Java Bean Struts

[alexander1113]

Hello all,
I am utilizing the MVC architecture via Struts. I have a page which prints out a dynamic list of text boxes and are printed as follows:

<input type="text" name="MyForm.quantity[0]" value="2"/>
<input type="text" name="MyForm.quantity[1]" value="2"/>
<input type="text" name="MyForm.quantity[2]" value="2"/>
.... COULD BE MORE TEXT BOXES COULD BE LESS...

These text boxes are all in one form. Now when there is a submit it gets set to a bean which I have created like this:

private String[] quantity;
public String[] setQuantity(String[] quantity)
{
quantity = quantity
}
public String getQuantity()
{
return quantity;
}

But I am getting null when in the action I do:

action..blah blah blah
MyForm myform = (MyForm)form
//getting my bean from the jsp form

System.out.println(myform.getQuantity());

Can anyone help. If you need more information please post, I need to get this solved and have been racking my brain.

Alex

NM I finally Figured it out. It's a patch but it works. ANyone has another better solution, please by all means, post it.

private String[] quantity;
public String[] setQuantity(String[] quantity)
{
quantity = quantity
}
public String getQuantity()
{
return quantity;
}

should be:

private String[] quantity = new String[1000];
public String[] setQuantity(String[] quantity)
{
quantity = quantity
}
public String getQuantity()
{
return quantity;
}

I made a fixed length, because i know for a fact that it will never surpass 1000 items.
