Multi-value hidden fields

[Roger Altena]

Hi!
We're trying to set a multi-valued hidden field using:

protected void setHiddenField(String label, String[] values) {
  form.getScriptableObject().setParameterValue(label, values); }

But this won't compile (there isn't a version that takes a String[]).

We also tried setting an individual element:

  form.getScriptableObject().setParameterValue(label, values[0]);

And this seemed to work but the field named "label" reverted to a single variable rather than an array, causing problems later.  I think doing this in a loop would just keep overwriting the one single variable value rather than building a collection of values.

I would have thought I could use something like:

  form.getScriptableObject().setParameterValue(label + "[0]", values[0]);

But I couldn't figure out the syntax of the first parameter to make this work.

Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks!
Roger.

You could try the following WebForm method:

setParameter
public void setParameter(java.lang.String name,
                         java.lang.String[] values)

I tried

form.setParameter(label, values);

but got

com.meterware.httpunit.MissingParameterValueException: Parameter 'xxx' must have the value ''. Attempted to set it to: {zzz}

It seems that this function doesn't (function!).
