dynamic select box

[Jose Casas <Jo...@wal-mart.com>]

Hi,

I'm new to struts and was wondering if anybody knew how create a select box
with struts.  I have a bean which is returning an ArrayList.  I want to use
this ArrayList as the options in the select tag.  What code do I need in my
jsp to create this select box?   Can somebody please help me?

RE: dynamic select box

This is how we do it:

  <html:select name="yourActionForm" property="fieldToHoldSelectedValue">
          <html:options collection="yourArrayList" property="optionValue"
labelProperty="optionLabel"/>
  </html:select>

The ArrayList (in yourActionForm bean) should contain a list of Objects
(call it a KeyValuePair bean or something) which contain "getOptionValue"
and "getOptionLabel" methods (method names match the values in the JSP tag).
Struts will look for these methods to retrieve the proper values from each
Object in the ArrayList and populate the html tags with them.

The "fieldToHoldSelectedValue" field in yourActionForm will be set to the
value the user picks when the HTML form is submitted.
