Please help me to solve the problem with returning list to .vm page

Hi, Im new to Apache velocity. Im trying to display a two lists in a .vm file. is that possible?
(Both lists are returned from the Controller class at different time of execution). Please help me to solve this issue.

Not too sure what you're meaning.
Any example?

I cant post the actual code but i have given you a similar code for example here.



form.vm

<form>
<table>
#foreach($care in $carelist)
<tr>
<td>$care.firstname</td><td>$care.lastname</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="button" value="Add"/></td><td><input type="button" value="Edit"/></td>
</tr>
#end
</table>
</form>

##this part is not working

<form>
<table>
#foreach($c in $clist)
<tr>
<td><input type="text" value=$c.firstname /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="text" value=$c.lastname/></td>
</tr>
#end
</table>
</form>

Actually this page has to be returned twice by the controller. At first, the upper part of the velocity tags works fine. The lower form has to be loaded in a modal separately when the 'Edit' button is clicked. There begins the problem. The values from the controller returned list is not assigned to the text boxes.

Presumably those Edit buttons are associated with the row they're in on the table, so why does the second template have the entire table again, rather than the specific row?

How is the first form replaced by the second in your code?

Actually the first code is displayed normally, but the second form is displayed in a modal box.

But the second one is only used when the user clicks on an Edit button?

What do you want returned by each pass through the controller?
Presumably the first pass supplies the initial table, and the second pass (on Edit?) will return the second?
If so then that implies two templates.

First table is to display the list and second is to edit these details.. The second form displays in modal. Yeah it implies two template but if i make it as two different file, will it work?

You'll at least narrow down where it's failing.

'#foreach($c in $clist)'
this is the line that fails to execute the way it should be.

What are you passing into velocity for the clist?
What does "fail" mean as well?
Errors?
Incorrect output?
