how to dynamically generate select options from arrays

[matthew yee-king <ye...@no-future.com>]

Hello list people

I'm using struts 1.0.

I have a User object with a string array availableGroups. I want to
generate a select options list from this array in a jsp. 

Using a session bean of type User named currentUser, I can iterate the
array like this:

<logic:iterate id="x" name="currentUser" property="availableGroups">
<br /><bean:write name="x" />
</logic:iterate>

but i can't work out how to do the same sort of thing but generating a
select list. Well i can, but not using struts taglibs!

Can anyone help?

cheers

matthew

Re: how to dynamically generate select options from arrays

did a RTFM and solved it:

the session scope bean instance name is currentUser, the array is
availableGroups...

<html:select property="group">
         <html:options name="currentUser" property="availableGroups"/> 
</html:select>

(property="group" refers to a property in an ActionForm that deals with
this form)

cheers
