Re: How to pre-select a select list?

[Laurie Harper]

What do you mean by 'I uuse struts 2 package...'? The Struts1 tags don't 
work in Struts2 directly, so you may need to explain your setup in more 
detail to resolve specific issues.

That said, to answer the original question: have you tried using the 
same technique you did with the html:text tag? I.e. using both name and 
property attributes in the html:select tag? The should, I think, give 
you what you want.

Hi Volker,

I'm actually new to struts. I use struts 2 package but all my learning
resources including "struts for dummies" talk about struts 1, and I don't
know how can I use the new tags, that's why I use these struts 1 tags!

How this problem is solved in struts 1? I hope I would not be forced to
redesign all my work that's been done in struts 1.

Thanks.

Hi,

are you using struts1 ? This looks something strange to me.

Just use
<s:select name="role"
~                        list="availableRoles"                             
~                        cssClass="input"/>       

If you have getter and setter vor role (getRole()/setRole()) in your 
action class,
struts will populate (and select the proper entry) for you.
