LabelValueBean in a Form

[Dylan Stamat <dy...@gmail.com>]

I'm using a LabelValueBean, as I need to have a "name" be diplayed, and a 
"value" be reported back to the form.

I have no problems creating a List of LabelValueBean's, setting them into 
the request like so:
request.setAttribute("myLVBList", myLVBList);

... and outputting them on the .jsp like so:
<html:options collection="myLVBList" property="value" 
labelProperty="label"/>

However, I'd rather put this list into my Form, and not in the Request.
I fiddled around with html:options and html:optionsCollection trying a slew 
of different combinations using the Struts HTML docs as a reference, but no 
luck.

Is this even possible ?

Thanks !

It is possible. Have a method on your ActionForm which returns a 
java.util.Collection of org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean's and use it 
using <html:optionsCollection/> in the jsp

For eg: 

public Collection getMyLVBList() {
Collection options = new ArrayList();
options.add(new LabelValueBean(label, value));
// add more options
return options;
}

<html:select property="selectProperty">
<html:optionsCollection property="myLVBList"/>
</html:select>
