ArrayList & html:options

["Kalcevich, Daniel" <dk...@firstam.com>]

Everyone,

 

I am trying to use the htm-el:options tag to write out the value of a
Select box.  I am using an ArrayList of Strings that I am trying to
iterate over.  I want the value and option to be the same on the output.
Here is how I am calling my code...

 

 

Action:

request.setAttribute( "exportDates", exportDates ); //exportDates =
ArrayList<String>

 

JSP:

<html-el:select property="exportDate">

      <html-el:options collection="${exportDates}" />

</html-el:select>

 

Error:

 

15:38:53,106 ERROR [action]:253 - Servlet.service() for servlet action
threw exception

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: ServletException in
'/jsp/templates/tab_content_template.jsp': ServletException in

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

You don't need the expression in the 'collection' attribute.  It wants
the _name_ of the bean.  You can see from the error message that the
String representation of the ArrayList is getting passed into the tag.

Try using just:
   <html-el:options collection="exportDates" />
