How to display inner object's properties on Form

Smart GWT Technical Q&A

Hi,
I’ve got a peculiar requirement to display inner object’s properties on dynamic form. For example:
I have a CollegeRecord. It consists of List of StudentRecords. Each StudentRecord has AddressRecord. In UI, i have to display 10 StudentRecords at time. If user edited a record, it should update that particular record including innerrecordie., AddressRecord.

CollegeRecord –> StudentRecord –> AddressRecord
–> StudentRecord –> AddressRecord
etc…

As far as i know, for fields in dynamicform, we directly specify property name to a field. But i want to display each student address fields too. When user submitted, it should update AddressRecords of StudentRecords.

In Jsp, we have dot notation, to access inner bean’s properties.

Here how can i achieve this? Hope my problem is clear.

Hi Isomorphic,
Is there any solution to my problem?

Take a look at the dataPath feature (eg FormItem.dataPath).
