Like I said, it can take a real time expression. So you can do
<html:select property="selectProperty"
value="<%=(String)request.getAttribute("xyz")%>">
<html:options property="values" labelProperty="names"/>
</html:select>
You have to have scriptlets or expressions to set the value dynamically.

Subject: Re: initializing html:select
Yes, but what I'm after is being able to dynamically set the
initial values. I have an object in the request upon which
the initial value depends. So specifying it in the value
parameter (unless I used code in the jsp page) isn't any good
and initializing it at declaration doesn't help me either
because I don't have access to the object in the request.
Any other solutions?
