ClassCastException, but you know what? This turned out to be a JRun problem and I fixed it for another problem I was having. I wonder if it fixed it for the Collections iterator of options as well? I'll test and let you know.

At last, Mark!!! ;-) What error did you get with List of beans? I do that all the time.... Dave "Galbreath, Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 04/24/2002 03:28:44 PM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Struts Users Mailing List'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: (bcc: David Hay/Lex/Lexmark) Subject: RE: html:select how to use it? Whoa! I just cut-n-pasted Jim's refactored select into my JSP and it worked. Previously I had tried options on a complex object ( a List of beans) and couldn't get the Collections iterator to parse the bean properties. But at least on a simple List of objects, it works great! Thanks, again, Jim.
