Complicated select - option structure?
I am toying around with a simple test application. In one page user creates
a new record, and picks the artist for that record with a select pulldown.
My artist object has a first name and a last name separately. Initially I
displayed only last name:
<html-el:select property="artistId">
<html-el:optionsCollection property="allArtists" value="id"
label="lastName"/>
</html-el:select>
Quite nice and compact. When I wanted to include also the last name, best I
could come up with was:
<html-el:select property="artistId">
<c:forEach var="artist" items="${recordForm.allArtists}">
<html-el:option value="${artist.id}">
<c:out value="${artist.firstName} ${artist.lastName}"/>
</html-el:option>
</c:forEach>
</html-el:select>
It seems quite complicated - is there any way to use EL and
optionsCollectionTag, for example, to achieve a simpler structure?
