Does this assume that you have loaded a Collection of LabelValueBeans in the
application scope? Do you really need that scriplet at the top of the page?
I thought html:options could reference the collection where it is in the
servlet context, without copying the reference to the page context.

This is how we do it...(I think the work simple should be ommitted)
Get the content at the top of the JSP page.
<%
pageContext.setAttribute("nameSuffixTypes",
getServletContext().getAttribute("nameSuffixTypes"));
%>
Place this where you want the Drop Down List on the JSP page.
<html:select property="suffix">
<html:options collection="nameSuffixTypes" property="value"
labelProperty="label" />
</html:select>

Subject: Drop-down list
What is the simplest way to dynamically create a drop-down list
(<select>) that pulls values from a database? Is there a specific tag I
should use? Iterator?
