Struts and Dynamic Fields of a Form

Question

Hi all,
There's a form in a struts based web-application in which some fields will be made according to some variable parameters. I mean number of those text type fields may vary.
Any idea for building ActionForm class such that fields of that formBean be set automatically? I tried following solution :
<input type="text" name="varName" value="aaa" >
<input type="text" name="varName" value="bbb" >
<input type="text" name="varName" value="ccc" >
class MyForm extends ..... {
private String varName[];
public String[] getVarName() {}
public void setVarName(String[] varName) {
this.varName = varName;
In this case I am able to retrieve correct values in the Action Class. But when the form is populated with the values, it is not showing correct results. The reason behind this is I am unable to bind first text box with varName[0] and second with varName[1]. Please suggest solution.
Thanks and regards,
Sneha

Why don't you create the text boxes dynamically in the jsp?
<logic:iterate id="beanArray" name="yourBean">
<input type="text" name='<bean:write name="beanArray" property="beanName"/>' value='<bean:write name="beanArray" property="beanName"/>'>
</logic:iterate>
