You might do better asking Struts questions on the Struts user mailing list

Given the two arrays listed above, check out the <struts:options> tag to generate
all of the options and their corresponding descriptions:
<%
// These would normally be created in an Action, not scriptlets
// but are placed here to have all the relevant stuff together
String stateAbbrs[] = new String[] {"AZ", "CA", ... };
pageContext.setAttribute("stateAbbrs", stateAbbrs);
String stateNames[] = new String[] {"Arizona", "California", ... };
pageContext.setAttribute("stateNames", stateNames);
%>
<struts:select name="states">
<struts:options name="stateAbbrs" labelName="stateNames"/>
</struts:select>
You can mix <struts:option> and <struts:options> elements inside the select tag.
For example, to create a dummy "Select A State" option at the top of the list, do
this instead:
<struts:select name="states">
<struts:option value="--">Select A State</struts:option>
<struts:options name="stateAbbrs" labelName="stateNames"/>
</struts:select>
The Struts example app uses this approach on the "subscription.jsp" page.
