Struts2: Getting multiple values from tag

["Peterson, Ryan" <Ry...@McKesson.com>]

Hey guys,

I'm using custom objects to store attributes (say a person with
first/last name, age, height).  Right now I have a collection that
stores these objects, and then displays them on a JSP page for the user
to select one from the collection for further processing like so:

 

<s:iterator value="peopleCollection">

<li>

<a href=" <s:url action="ProcessPersonSelection">

                        <s:param name="firstName" value="firstName" />

                        <s:param name="age" value="age" />

                        <s:param name="height" value="height" />

            </s:url>">

            <s:property value="lastName" />

            </a>

            </li>

</s:iterator>

 

What this does is sets up a list of links, which display the last name
of the person object, and when clicked submits all the params specified
(firstName, age, height, lastName).  

 

The downside is I can't use the <s:token /> tag, because it's not in
proper "form" tags.  All of the <s:select> or <s:radio> tags allow
nearly the same functionality, except only 1 value can be returned,
rather than all of the values.  Is there another way to get multiple
values submitted from select or radio tags?


Any help is appreciated!

Where the <s:select> tag will render to HTML,
whatever you do in struts2-Tag, the HTML <select> just only pass the value
in <select>.
so, it seems no good idea.
I do it like this:

<s:select  list="listCollection" listKey="displayValue"
listValue="name+'separatorString'+anotherValue+'sepStr2'+id">

"name,anotherValue,id" is the value you need.

join the string value which you wanne get, and separator them with
"separatorString",
then put it in the listValue.
you shall parse the string you get at the serve side.
