Thanks Wendy!
My problem was the following. In order to get this <select> to
display, I of course needed to set up all the crap asociated with
doing such a thing... This is a list partially to get it into the
archives so I can search on it later.
So, I did the following
1. Loaded an ArrayList of CodeBean objects onto the application
context at application startup (inder the name "codes". (a CodeBean
has a codeID and codeName attribure with getters and setters)
I actualyl rethought the way I was saving data in the application
context, and an ArrayList of code beans seemed nicer than a hashMap..
so I changed it.
2. create the HTML for it all to work
<html:form action="codeAction.do" method="post">
<html:select name="codeForm" property="codeName">
<html:options collection="codes" property="codeID"
labelProperty="codeName"/>
</html:select>
</html:form>
WELL, in order for th above to work, you need a form-bean entry, and
an action mapping, and for that to work, you need a Form Bean and an
Action Class
>From Struts-Config.xml....
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="codeForm" type="com.company.struts.form.CodeForm"/>
</form-beans>
...and...
<action path="/CodeAction"
name="sicForm"
scope="request"
input="page.input"
type="com.company.struts.CodeAction">
<forward name="success" path="page.result" redirect="true" />
</action>
My apologies, but I thought it might help reinforce it in my mind if I
wrote it all down.
Thanks for the help Wendy!
