So before the action, test the bean, including the option bean, basically an iteration of names and properties.
Then add a toCollection method that returns .... the collection so you can use Options Collection.

Greetings all:I am trying to populate the options for a select list from a DB call. And I am getting a null pointer exception from this line in the ActionForm:To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) servlet.getServletContext().getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY);To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
What I am trying to do is use the ConnectionPool provided by Struts. This call works great in my Action but doesn't work in my ActionForm.On the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net #struts) we have been discussing the merits of putting a DB call in an ActionForm.To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
SOoo, my main question is,How do I ask the context for the connection pool in an ActionForm?To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But I would also love to see discussion about the merits of putting a DB call in an ActionForm at all. If I didn't put the call in the ActionForm how would I get the data from the DB call into the actionForm?To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks in advance for all your help,SteveTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
