OK, just have a look at the subscription.jsp page in the example
application, and remove the line 'pageContext.setAttribute("serverTypes",
list);'
Then add the following lines in the method perform of the class
EditSubscriptionAction let's say before forwarding the control:
java.util.ArrayList list = new java.util.ArrayList();
list.add(new org.apache.struts.example.LabelValueBean("IMAP Protocol",
"imap"));
list.add(new org.apache.struts.example.LabelValueBean("POP3 Protocol",
"pop3"));
list.add(new org.apache.struts.example.LabelValueBean("Another Protocol",
"another"));
session.setAttribute("serverTypes", list);
This displays the protocol names and the option values are set to "imap"
"pop3" and "another".

Did you put an int in your collection ? Did you try with a Integer ?
I know that I can use labelName and
