I am coming from the PHP world, where any form data that has a name ending in square brackets automatically gets interpreted as an array. So for example:
<input type="text" name="car[0]" />
<input type="text" name="car[1]" />
<input type="text" name="car[3]" />
would be caught on the PHP side as an array of name "car" with 3 strings inside.
Now, is there any way to duplicate that behavior when submitting to a JSP/Servlet backend at all? Any libraries that can do it for you?
EDIT:
To expand this problem a little further:
In PHP,
<input type="text" name="car[0][name]" />
<input type="text" name="car[0][make]" />
<input type="text" name="car[1][name]" />
would get me a nested array. How can I reproduce this in JSP?
