<nested:hidden> field missing id

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to define a id of a <nested:hidden filed in struts 1, but with styleId i receive a error:

my code looks something like this:

<nested:iterate id="otherPayList" name="myPayListForm" property="otherPayList"  indexId="rowIndex">

<nested:hidden property="rowStatus"/>

.......

Any idea ?

Answer 1

The <nested:iterate> tag is an extension for <logic:iterate>.

The property of <nested:hidden> is:

the name of the corresponding bean property if value is not specified. The corresponding bean property (if any) must be of type String.

The reason you have an error is because Struts can't find a bean of typed to name rowStatus (in the <nested:hidden> tag). You have not specified what errors Struts is throwing (ie, exception logs) so I'm working on what you've given.

If I understand you properly,

you want to do this (provided it's nested in the <nested:iterate> tag).

<nested:hidden name="otherPayList" property="rowStatus" />

For <nested:hidden> tag, there is no attribute called id and setting the id to styleId won't work as styleId looks for a CSS declaration with id matching styleId (i.e. it will look for a css, if styleId="thatId" declared #thatId { }).
