The class that my bean uses has an array textFields[407]. I have 407 textfields in my jsp file. I used a loop to make the textfields. So, it looks something like this:

<%for ( int i = 0; i < lineCount; i++ ) {%>
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="textFields"+i SIZE="4" MAXLENGTH="7" VALUE=<%= transaction.getTextField(i)%>>
<%}%>

The problem lies in the NAME. What should be its syntax so i can say that I am passing the value of the ith textField in the jsp file to the ith element of the array in the bean?

Is this possible? or should I do another kind of approach?

please help me. :'(

I tried:
NAME="textFields["+i+"]"
NAME="textFields["+<%=i%>+"]"
NAME="textFields"
NAME="textFields[<%=i%>]"

I'm running out of ideas. Could this approach be impossible? but it would be hell if I am gonna give 407 unique names in the bean for the 407 textFields. That isn't approprite. there should be an easier way. :'(
