The "collection" attribute requires that the collection exists in some scope. It
seems that there isn't a way to use a collection straight from the form bean.
So, if my collection is in the local form I define it in a bean:define tag.
Something like:
<sbean:define id="numbers" name="orderForm" property="numbers"/>
(orderForm.getNumbers() returns the collection of LabelValueBeans)
Then your html:options tag should work as you have written it.
