There are two ways but the best way is to set up a simple bean
like "LabelValueBean" that has two attribute; the option value and the
option description
public class LabelValueBean {
String label, descrip ; ....
public String getLabel() { ... }
public void setLabel( String newValue ) { ... }
public String getDescription() { ... }
public void setDescription( String newValue ) { ... }
}
Write a collection and store LabelValueBean inside it.
Write an action form that allows you get the collection or add
the collection directly to the request scope under a known name.
Then you write your <html:options> tags to get all the options
You need to tell <html:option> the JavaBean property to get the value ie "label" ==
getLabel()
and the display text "description" == getDescription
<html:options collection="myActionForm.countries"
property="label"
labelProperty="description"/>
