============================================================
In form bean get/setLinkSelectionOption. These are the values
as stored on DB.
User sees the labels.
============================================================
In jsp.
<html:select name="linkListForm" property="linkSelectionOption" >
<html:options collection="linkSelectionOptions"
property="option"
labelProperty="label" />
</html:select>
===========================================================
