To create an alternate shipping address, a registered member clicks on the add new address link to go to new_shipping_address.jsp, where a form collects the address fields and the nickname for the new address. The form’s input tags are associated with the editValue property of the B2CProfileFormHandler; the Add Address button invokes the handleNewAddress() handler as demonstrated in the following example.
Note: The “. . .” markers in the following code sample indicate a place where code has been removed to clarify the sample.

Give this address a nickname for your address book:<br> <dsp:input bean="B2CProfileFormHandler.editValue.nickname" maxlength="40" size="20" type="text"/> <p> <!-- Store the ProfileID in ownerId field of the new address.

The handleNewAddress() handler creates a new address in the secondaryAddresses map, indexed with the provided nickname, and sets its properties based on the entries in the editValue map property:
MutableRepository repository = (MutableRepository) profile.getRepository();
Map secondaryAddresses = (Map)
profile.getPropertyValue("secondaryAddresses");
// What address fields are we looking for
String[] addressProperties = getAddressProperties();
// Get editValue map, containing the user form data
HashMap newAddress = (HashMap) getEditValue();
String nickname = (String) newAddress.get("nickname");
// If we successfully collected all needed user input, create a new address
try {
// Create a repository item to be filled with stuff.
MutableRepositoryItem address = repository.createItem("contactInfo");
// Copy values from the newAddress object
Object property;
for (int i = 0; i < addressProperties.length; i++) {
property = newAddress.get(addressProperties[i]);
if (property != null)
address.setPropertyValue(addressProperties[i], property);
}
// Update adress into the db and insert into secondaryAddresses map
repository.addItem(address);
secondaryAddresses.put(nickname, address);
