Trimming strings in html:options

[Bhaskar Gopalan <bg...@adaptintel.com>]

Hi,
I am dynamically populating a options field from the database. For this I am
getting an ArrayList
of strings that are formatted as id:value. 

Code:
<%
PipelineFilterForm pipelineFilterForm =
(PipelineFilterForm)session.getAttribute("PipelineFilterForm");
java.util.ArrayList statusOptions = pipelineFilterForm.getStatusOptions();
if(statusOptions != null) {
	pageContext.setAttribute("statusOptions", statusOptions,
PageContext.PAGE_SCOPE);
%>
	<html:select size="1" property="stageVal">
                 <html:option value="0">Select One</html:option>
                 <html:options name="statusOptions"/>
            </html:select>

The options displayed are id:value which is ok. But I want to set the value
of each option
equal to the 'id' part of the string. Is there any way to do this?

Also, line 2 of the code shows how I access the formBean from the form. Is
there any other
way to acheive this?

Thanks,
Bhaskar
