Dynamic select menu in JSP
I would like to know the best method to populate a form in a JSP page with
dynamic select menu, where the number of options in the select depends on a
query to the database. Specifically where is best to place the functionality
?
<html:select property="singleSelect" size="10">
<html:option value="Single 0">Single 0</html:option>
<html:option value="Single 1">Single 1</html:option>
.......
.......
<html:option value="Single n">Single n</html:option>
.......
</html:select>
Previous to Struts I would have looped aropund a resultsset.
What do people use ?
Regards
Mark

Add a Collection to your form bean. Add getter and setter methods to the
form bean. Add code to your action class (usually a prepare-type action) to
look up the data (or call the appropriate facade/delegate method) and
populate the collection on the form. Modify your resultant jsp to use the
Collection in an <html:options> tag within an <html:select> tag. Check the
docs on the struts site for specific details or reply with more specific
questions.

I don't know what <html:optionsCollection> is, but for your purposes, I
would use <html:options> backed by a Collection as I mentioned earlier.

Not worried.
But something I'm planning for the future should help everyone with API's
jar versions and examples. A little project I'm dreaming up. I'm sure If ask
ask for a show of hand I'll get this project off the ground.
Still I've made progress.
Not sure what's the difference with:
<html:optionsCollection
<html:options
But if I dig I might find out.

Don't worry, Mark. If there were an adequate example in the Struts docs, you
would have a better idea how to start and what questions to ask. However,
you have to use this list or scour the internet for examples.

Eddie Don't do my research um - I got a PhD in Molecular Physics and
Nanotechnology for doing some very good research. Oh and then there was Bell
Labs.
Oh never used Google whats that ?
With 52,000 mails and a very poor interface, a.k.a you can't even order by
date ?
I'll know not to post so fast in future for fear of being made an example of
by Eddie.
However if the framework is so simple why is there 52,000 mail comparable
with Tomcat ?

Regarding menus, I use struts - menu from sourceforge.
You can see struts menu runing at baseBeans.com live.

Try "Struts html:option" - works super. I actually did try it :-) I
didn't get as good of a return as I expected though :-/ I'm sure I
could refine it better and get a better return, but, as I was just doing
it to ensure I was getting back relevant data, I didn't investigate it
thoroughly.
The point is valid though :-) Far too few people actually take the time
to do any research on their question before asking. Chances are, if you
have a problem, someone has already run into it and likely solved it as
well. The first thing I do when I hit a "rough spot" is look around -
Google is my first stop. I'll try a few (anywhere from 3-5) different
permutations of relevant keywords (doing things such as removing that
troublesome colon) and see what I get. Most of the time that's ...
plenty :-) There are times it does not suffice.

When you put "html:option" in the search box it doesn't work. At least, it
never has for me. The ':' screws it up and searching on "option" or "html
option" is not viable. I'm going to reiterate that if the Struts docs had
good examples of implementation, a lot of repetitive questions could be
avoided. I would gladly update the documentation if I had the time.

Re: Dynamic select menu in JSP
Posted by Eddie Bush <ek...@swbell.net>.
That's a very valid point. Did you, in the course of asking to be put
on the list, actually read:
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
... or just look for the link that said "sign me up!" ? :-) Not trying
to be difficult - I'm just honestly curious ;-) I would be willing to
wager (and I'm not a betting man) that if you searched for html:option
you'd find several suggestions to "use html:options instead" - and some
of even those likely have explicit details as well :-)
I'm not in the habit of holding grudges, so don't feel *too bad*.
You're far from the first to ask a repetitive question, and I doubt
you'll be the last. It would be nice if folks exercised their
STFW-related brain cells though :-)
(Sorry - not trying to single you out - this particular question is
occassionally asked and answered as many as three times in a single day
though - I can't remember the last week that passed without at least a
single query on it.)
Peace ;-)

*sigh*
There have been a number of topics going on about doing such things
lately. Obviously, using the <html:option> tag is less than ideal.
Have you looked at <html:options/> yet? I think you'll find a much
better implementation possible using it instead of <html:option/>.
STMA (Search the Mail Archive) - most notably the last 7 days. You're
guaranteed to find a message that gives explicit usage instructions. A
hint: populate the property that represents your options in an action.
If that doesn't make sense now, it will once you do some research on
how to use <html:options/>. If it doesn't, just let us know.

Re: Dynamic select menu in JSP
Posted by John Owen <jo...@hotmail.com>.
Here's an example of the jsp code :
<html:select property="defaultEmployee">
<html:options property="employeeValues"
labelProperty="employeeLabels"/>
</html:select>
defaultEmployee is a String representing the 'selected' value,
employeeValues is a Collection that contains the values for each option,
employeeLabels is a Collection that contains the labels displayed in the
drop-down. These variables are all defined in the form bean used by the jsp
defined in the action mapping in your struts-config.xml. The Collections are
populated in an action class that is used to prepare the form before the
user sees the jsp page.
