Multiselect tags
So I went searching in the archives for how to use a select tag with
multiselect='true' set.
I found one entry from 2007 where a user asks this question. The
answer was "Use a list".
Great.
How? If I set the tag to a list of objects specified in my action,
how do I set the second list of objects? Will they be Strings or if I
set my select tag to key off of 'recordId' which is an integer, will
it be a list of integers?
I would like to request documentation for the select tag be updated to
reflect a simple example.

OK, so it is really a lot simpler than I thought. Just have to set the
name of the select to the name of the property and the system will
figure out that it is a list of what ever the listkey is set to. Same
as usual.

This is not what I was having trouble with.
Anyway, I've got the solution but I need to complete what I am working
on before I post it. :-)

If you are trying to make a cascading drop down, you can do so with the
doubleselect tag.
One way to implement:
Create a class, CascDropDown, with getters and setters for value, label and
subList.
subList is a List of objects, DropDown, with getters and setters for value
and label.
If you have values A, B in the first dropdown and want to show 1, 2, 3 when
A is selected and 10, 11, 12 if B is selected:
Create List of DropDown objects from above with value/labels of 1, 2 and 3 -
then add the List to the CascDropDown object and set the value/label to "A".
Do the same with 10, 11, 12 as the subList and the value/label set to "B"
Add those two CascDropDown objects to a list, called myCascDropDown, and put
a getter in your action.
<s:doubleselect name="formAttrib0" doubleName="forAttrib1"
list=" myCascDropDown" doubleList="subList"
listKey="value" doubleListKey="value"
listValue="label" doubleListValue="label"/>
When you select "A" - "1", "2" and "3" should appear in the second dropdown.

So I tried setting key='selectedList'
This did not work. I got a null selectedList and:

Was expecting one of:
