Thanks to everyone for suggestions. I am having a combo in which the values are dynamically coming from DB thru java WS. The case is, when i select a country for instance say "India", the code for the corresponding selection "IN" is saved to the DB thru java WS during SAVE action. When i retrieve the value in future, I am given only the countrycode "IN". Using this code, I have to show the countryname on label property of my combo. I am currently looping thru the arraycol(dataprovider) for checking the code for "IN" and setting the arraycol index to combo.selectedIndex. I cannot use switch() here as the values are dynamic from DB.
Is there any other better way of doing this...? Thanks in advance!!!
