Hi Sudhakar,
Thank you for explaining your requirement so clearly.
The task you are trying to achieve is not possible in the jsp source. The reason being that Creator has a page backing bean where the component declarations are done. Hence adding components via the jsp source would not work as the page backing bean is essential for the working of the application.
The solution for your problem would be something like this:
Create an integer property named counter in your session bean and initialise it to 0.
Add a gridpanel to your page.
In your page backing bean (Page1.java) constructor add the following code
for(int i=0; i<array.length;i++){
SessionBean1 sb = getSessionBean1();
int ctr = sb.getCounter();
UIComponent parent = gridPanel1;
HtmlSelectBooleanCheckbox chkBx = new HtmlSelectBooleanCheckbox();
chkBx.setId("checkBox" + ctr);
parent.getChildren().add(chkBx);
sb.setCounter(ctr+1);
The above code just uses one for loop. You could extend it to mak use of nested loops.
I hope this helps
Cheers
Giri :-)
