How to insert a value into Set collection in Struts 2

Question

I am doing a project using Struts2 and I have a problem assigning a set collection.

Here\'s my Action (I eliminated the irrelevant part)

public class         


        

Answer 1

Set is a Collection and as any other collection could be indexed by a property.

@Element(value = Student.class)
@Key(value = Integer.class)
@KeyProperty(value = "id") 
@CreateIfNull(value = true)
private Set students = new HashSet(0);
//getter and setter, also for Student class that should have Integer id.

Indexing a collection by a property of that collection.

It is also possible to obtain a unique element of a collection by passing the value of a given property of that element. By default, the property of the element of the collection is determined in ->conversion.properties using KeyProperty_xxx=yyy, where xxx is the property of the bean Class that returns the collection and yyy is the property of the collection element that we want to index on.
