HTML:select multiple=true

[johnseitz <se...@pobox.com>]

I have an object called AreaCode which contains a property called 
areaId.  

I have an object called AreaDislayBean which contains a property 
called areas.  This property is an array property which returns 
AreaCode[] array.

My <html:select> tag looks like this:
<html:select name="Constants.ADB" property="areas.areaId" >
  options tags are here
</html>

Now maybe I'm stupid (which is very possible), but I though that 
struts tags could handle this property propagation.  But it 
consisteny returns an error.

So what I did is make the AreaDisplayBean contain a property called 
areaIds which is an array property of Long.  After making the change 
to the html:select tag to use the property name "areaIds", the 
select tag renders correctly.

It just seems odd that I would have to rip apart my AreaCode object 
to get to its areaId property. Am I using the tag correctly?  Can 
someone throw me a bone in the right direction?

Thanks

John

It's difficult to tell what the exact problem is without seeing at least
the interface code for the bean you are trying to expose. The tags
access the beans, so the beans are an essential part of the equation.
