Display a value from a List in a FormBean based on List.id = x ???

[Greg Callaghan <gr...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

Does anyone know an easy way to, an a JSP using struts tags, print out the 
value from a particular object in a FormBean list.  For example say,

* FormBean - Has an element which is a List
* This List holds several Objects
* Each Object has a getId() and getTitle()

The question is how to print the TITLE for the list item where ID=5 say.  Is 
there a way to do this directly?  Would one have to use an iterate loop?

Background - Currently have a form which uses the following technique to 
display options (see code below).  If however this particular field can't be 
modified I was to display the current selection (including title) in normal 
bolded text, and not have the options.

----------------------------
<bean:define id="sg_opts" name="EventForm" property="sg_options" 
type="java.util.List"  />
<html:select property="s_sg">
  <html:option key="option_label_selectone" value=""/>
  <html:options collection="sg_opts" property="id" labelProperty="title"/>
</html:select>
------------------------------


Thanks in advance
Greg
