Options Tag, Property Attribute and Accessor Consumption.

Comrades,

Here is a Scenario.

Let us say we have 2 kinds of value objects extending a base ValueObject. AVo and BVo extend BaseVo and BaseVo has a method getKey()

Now I have a collection of AVo's and another collection of BVo's. I want to provide the descriptions of these VO's in a dropdown and capture the key during the process. Both the dropdowns exist in the same form.

so the code would be something like.

     <html:select property="key" name = "ldmGroup"  indexed="yes">
      <html:options collection="ldmGroups" property="key" labelProperty="formattedDescription"/>
     </html:select>

So, that takes care of AVo collection in a dropdown. 

     <html:select property="key" name = "twGroup"  indexed="yes">
      <html:options collection="twGroups" property="key" labelProperty="formattedDescription"/>
     </html:select>

This is what I have to do to capture BVo's keys.


Now I also want to have a drop down of BVo collection but the key[] in "formbean" is already filled by AVo collection parameters. How can I use the dropdown and capture the BVo's keys?


Thanks for your time.
