Question

I am using struts2 and hibernate.

I have a jsp page which is loaded upon an action. The related action class returns a list of Objects as rows of a table stored in a database.

When the the page loads (with all the rows stored in the list), i want the data of each row and also the each of the corresponding values of columns displayed in separate textboxes, each having a different id. For example, the list has 15 objects (as rows of a table) and each object in the list have 10 attributes (as columns) then i want 10*15 = 150 textboxes each with different ids.

How can i achieve this? With <s:iterator> and <s:property> i can have only 10 text boxes (which is equal to the number of columns, as we can hav only 10 no of <s:property>)..?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

<s:iterator value="yourList" status="status">
 <s:textfield name="col1" value="%{prop1}" id="col1-%{#status.count}/>
 <s:textfield name="col2" value="%{prop2}" id="col2-%{#status.count}/>
 <s:textfield name="col3" value="%{prop3}" id="col3-%{#status.count}/>
 <s:textfield name="col4" value="%{prop4}" id="col4-%{#status.count}/>
 <s:textfield name="col5" value="%{prop5}" id="col5-%{#status.count}/>
 <s:textfield name="col6" value="%{prop6}" id="col6-%{#status.count}/>
 <s:textfield name="col7" value="%{prop7}" id="col7-%{#status.count}/>
 <s:textfield name="col8" value="%{prop8}" id="col8-%{#status.count}/>
 <s:textfield name="col9" value="%{prop9}" id="col9-%{#status.count}/>
 <s:textfield name="col10" value="%{prop10}" id="col10-%{#status.count}/>
 <br/>
</s:iterator>

Although, I think this is a bad design. Try using dataTable or even a simple table.
