Here is the exact page.
Maybe I am doing something completely
wrong. I was not aware that I needed to use an action to make the List
available. I thought the tag library would just use the page
context.
======================================================
<%@
page
import="com.contego.arx.domain.Company,
org.apache.ojb.broker.query.QueryByCriteria,
org.apache.ojb.broker.query.Query,
org.apache.ojb.broker.query.Criteria,
java.util.Collection,
java.util.List,
java.util.ArrayList"
%>
<%@ taglib uri="sitemesh-page" prefix="page"
%>
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/classes/webwork.tld" prefix="ww"
%>
<%
QueryByCriteria q = new QueryByCriteria(
Company.class, null );
q.addOrderBy( "name", true );
List companies =
(List)Company.list(q);
%>
<%=companies.size()
%>
<page:applyDecorator name="admin">
<table width="100%"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<form action="" method="get">
<ww:property>
<ww:textfield
label="'First Name'" name="'FName'"/>
<ww:textfield label="'Last Name'"
name="'LName'"/>
<ww:textfield
label="'Email'" name="'email'"/>
<ww:textfield label="'Phone'"
name="'phone'"/>
<ww:select label="'Company'"
name="'companyId'" list="companies" listKey="'id'"
listValue="'name'"/>
</ww:property>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
<webwork:iterator
value="errors">
<br><webwork:property/>
</webwork:iterator>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</page:applyDecorator>

Subject: RE: [OS-webwork] ui:select
problems
When you say "On the page I have created a
java.util.List called "companies"." what do you
mean?
The tag will look for a property name 'companies' in your Action with
a getCompanies() method. Depending on which WebWork version you're using
(1.x or 2.0) there's different ways for retrieving objects in the page
context. Is this what you're trying to do?

I am trying to get the select tag to generate
a select from a java.util.List containing a class called Company.
Here is the tag that I have used in my JSP.
<ui:select
label="'Company'" name="'companyId'" list="companies" listKey="'id'"
listValue="'name'"/>
On the page I have created a java.util.List
called "companies". The Company class has two attributes; "id" and
"name". Each of these attributes has their respective accessor and
mutator. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help,
Chris
