                        <div class="leftSide"><input type="text" name="address1" class="textBox" style="width:250px;" /></div>

                        <div class="label"><b>City :</b></div>
                        <div class="leftSide"><input type="text" name="city" class="textBox" style="width:250px;" /></div>

                        <div class="label"><b>Zipcode :</b></div>
                        <div class="leftSide"><input type="text" name="zipcode" class="textBox" style="width:250px;" /></div>

                        <div class="label"><b>Address 2 :</b></div>
                        <div class="leftSide"><input type="text" name="address2" class="textBox" style="width:250px;" /></div>

                        <div class="label"><b>State :</b></div>
                        <div class="leftSide"><input type="text" name="state" class="textBox" style="width:250px;" /></div>

                        <div class="label"><b>Phone :</b></div>
                        <div class="leftSide"><input type="text" name="phone" class="textBox" style="width:250px;" /></div>

Please tell me the solution that how can i send two objects of same AddressEntity from jsp to controller keeping the same value for attribute “name” of input type.

In the given senario i am getting the object but it includes values of both address by “,”(comma) seperated.

Answer 1

We can find it in documentation, just read section about nesting properties.

For provided case you need to set field names properly:

user.address[0].city
user.address[1].city
user.address[2].city

and same for the remaining.
