Hi Rob,
struts handles this for you in it's usual brilliant style!
in jsp======================================================================
<html:select name="linkListForm"
property="selectedLinkSelectionOption" >
<html:options collection="linkSelectionOptions"
property="option"
labelProperty="label" />
</html:select>
============================================
So your formBean methods get/set the values as on your database. Struts shows the
labels.
My LinkSelectionOptions is a collection of LinkSelectionOption objects.
The LinkSelectionOption class hast get/setLabel & get/set option methods. The label is
what the
user sees, the option is what is passed to/from the business logic.
Hope this is the answer you want, ask for more detail if req.
Keith.
