Re: How can I used html:select with a Collection of String

[Je...@nlgroup.ca]

Hey guy's:
     I am a little confused from what Ted stated:
     "People often have trouble using Vectors with the Struts tags. They are
really designed to work best with the new Collection objects or with
simple arrays. My best advice would be to have a property like"

Object[] getCollection() {
  return vector.toArray()
}

I have been using application scoped Vectors that go directly into a
logic:iterate tag with no problem . The Java doc for the java.util Vector
states:
     "As of the Java 2 platform v1.2, this class has been retrofitted to
implement List, so that it becomes a part of Java's collection framework."

We are slowly cleaning up a JSP appwe have and for starters, I have been using
the standalone taglib where I can.  We have chosen the Vector as or "standard"
collection.

Is there more I should consider?

Object[] getCollection() {
  return vector.toArray()
}

But if you search the mail-archives, there have been several threads
about this.

If you come up with a good answer, I'll put in the newbie FAQ we're
constructing.
