Description
spoken in the case of blog_example, it is not possible to edit multiple blogs at the same time.
What i would like to do is the following:
<f:form controller="Blog" action="multipleedit" name="blog">
<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="tx_blogexample_pi1[blog][]">
<input type="checkbox" value="2" name="tx_blogexample_pi1[blog][]">
<input type="checkbox" value="3" name="tx_blogexample_pi1[blog][]">
<f:form.submit value="Edit"/>
</f:form>
and have an Action like this in BlogController:
public function multipleeditAction(Tx_Extbase_Persistence_ObjectStorage $blog){
[...]
}

The solution is to use a proper DTO or rely on arrays (which can still be validated), not to turn ObjectStorage into a DTO. For more flexibility, use DTO. For ease, use arrays.
Extbase can map ObjectStorages, of course, but won't do so as root controller action arguments - with good reason: ObjectStorages aren't persistable or validatable themselves - only the contained objects are. Although we could make this possible it would require adding special handling in many contexts right from argument validation to persistence - when the proper response is "use the framework's features: an unpersisted DTO or a plain array".
It sounds like what you need here is a proper DTO.
Closing as "edge case, has multiple workarounds, not indented framework usage".
ok, thank you for your answer. How could a DTO solution look like?
