Select/Options Tag

A tag reference can maintain a String from a SELECT statement within a
form bean, but only the ONE actually selected..

How can I maintain ALL the OPTIONS within a SELECT box within a form
bean??

This bug was just fixed, so you will need the most current nightly
release.  You can now have a property that returns a String array, and use
it to back a SELECT statement that allows multiple options:

    <html:select property="foo" multiple="true">
        ... Use <html:option> and/or <html:options> here ...
    </html:select>

and Struts will correctly remember all of the selected values, based on
the contents of your array.

There is a test page (html-select.jsp) in the Struts test application
(struts-test.war) that illustrates how this works.
