Multivalue hidden form field

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm trying to set a value in a hidden multivalue form field, without much luck. I'm trying to create some test scripts for an internal "legacy" intranet site.

I started off with with setParameter(String, String[]) but as the field is hidden this throws an error.

After reading the some of the site I tried the getScriptableObject().setParameterValue(String,String) but as this is a multivalue field this does not work.

I think I've found a way by using the form.getRequest(SubmitButton) after setting setParameterValuesValidated to false, this allows me to get a WebRequest object which I can then alter via the setParameter(String,String[]).

What I can't figure out is how to submit the webRequst. I've tried getResource(WebRequest) but this doesnt seem to work, I've noticed that there is a completeRequest but I've no idea how to get the urlConnection or if this is the right way of going about it. Any ideas?

Code:

HttpUnitOptions.setParameterValuesValidated( false );
        WebRequest Wrq = form.getRequest(form.getSubmitButton("cmdNewQuote"));
        Wrq = modifyParameterArray(Wrq,"txtRowDirty","Y",0);
        Wrq.setParameter("txtName1","Graham");
        Wrq.setParameter("varField1c5","33");
        Wrq.setParameter("txtVersionName","Perf-Test");
        Wrq.setParameter("txtDirty", "Y"); 

modifyParameterArray method is based on the one in the patches directory but changes so that it would work with hidden fields.

protected WebRequest modifyParameterArray(WebRequest form,String name, String value,int arrayIndex){
       
        String[] currentValues = form.getParameterValues( name );
        Vector values = new Vector();
       
        if (arrayIndex != -1){
            // change all values to the one passed in
        }
        else{
            //change only the 1 value identified by the arrayIndex to the value passed in
            currentValues[arrayIndex] = value;
           
            for (int x = 0; x < currentValues.length; x++){
                values.add (currentValues[x]);
               
            }
        }
        //save value back to form
        form.setParameter( name, (String[])values.toArray( new String[0] ) );       
        return form;  
    }
