Listing 6-19.NestedSetCommandBean Class

public class NestedSetCommandBean {

Set<Name> names = new LinkedHashSet<Name>();

Set<String> strings = new LinkedHashSet<String>();

public NestedSetCommandBean() {

names.add(new Name());

strings.add("first string");

}

public Set<Name> getNames() {

return names;

}

public void setNames(Set<Name> names) {

this.names = names;

}

public Set<String> getStrings() {

return strings;

}

public void setStrings(Set<String> strings) {

this.strings = strings;

}

}

The following unit test, Listing 6-20, illustrates the limits of using the DataBinderwith a

Setby showing what ispossible.

Listing 6-20.NestedSetCommandBean Unit Test

public void setUp() throws Exception {

bean = new NestedSetCommandBean();

binder = new ServletRequestDataBinder(bean, "beanName");

request = new MockHttpServletRequest();

}

public void testSimpleBind() {

// just like /servlet?names[0].firstName=Anya&names[0].lastName=Lala

request.addParameter("names[0].firstName", "Anya");

request.addParameter("names[0].lastName", "Lala");

binder.bind(request);
