Struts with vectors? Best way to solve this problem?

[Scott Phelps]

I have a one to many relationship that I need to store from a web page using
struts..


A person has many events and that ocurred on dates. The event is represented
by an id, which is stored in a forgien table.

There are 10 ids which can happen on a given date in the next week.


So basicly I am going to have a table with 10 rows (events) and 7 columns
(days).

How do I create my ActionForm in manor that will make the presentation easy?

Thanks !!

Forget about Struts for the moment. Design and test your data access code
separately. How are you going to get the data in and out of the database?
Are you using JDBC directly, or an O/R mapping layer like Hibernate?

Okay... so do you already have an object model for the person, the event,
and the relationship? I see either a person that has a list of events,
which have dates, or else a person with a bunch of dates, which have events.

Struts can handle nested objects in the form as long as you stick to the
JavaBeans naming conventions. When you use dotted notation in the element
names, it will call the appropriate get/set methods to populate the form
bean.
