Re: Drop-down list
This is how we do it...(I think the work simple should be ommitted)
Get the content at the top of the JSP page.
<%
pageContext.setAttribute("nameSuffixTypes", getServletContext().getAttribute("nameSuffixTypes"));
%>
Place this where you want the Drop Down List on the JSP page.
<html:select property="suffix">
<html:options collection="nameSuffixTypes" property="value" labelProperty="label" />
</html:select>

What is the simplest way to dynamically create a drop-down list (<select>) that pulls values from a database? Is there a specific tag I should use? Iterator?

Provide Name(s)

Like this, correct?

Re: Drop-down list

Trying to use Multiple="true" attribute for html:select
Help!
O.k. so I declare it like so:
protected String[] providerName;
Then I get it:
public String[] getProviderName()
{
return (providerName);
}
Then I set it:
public void setProviderName(String providerName[]) {
{ this.providerName = providerName; }
}
What am I missing?

Re: Drop-down list
Posted by ma...@tumbleweed.com.
Add the attribute to your tag like so:
<html:select ... multiple="true" ...>
and make sure the corresponding property in your form bean is an array of
values.
See the docs for more details:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/struts-html.html#select
Hope this helps.

In XML syntax, attributes always have to have a value.

Re: Drop-down list
Posted by Peter Alfors <pe...@irista.com>.
When adding options to a select that are stored in a database, we have the
action class look-up the necessary information, store it in a bean, place the
bean in the request / session, and then use a taglib on the page that specifies
the source (the bean) and the property (database column) that should be used to
populate the select.
This gaurentees that the data in the select list is up to date.

Does this assume that you have loaded a Collection of LabelValueBeans in the
application scope? Do you really need that scriplet at the top of the page?
I thought html:options could reference the collection where it is in the
servlet context, without copying the reference to the page context.
