Subject: RE: AAAARGH! SOMEONE! How do I set the default selection when I'm
using html:options?
This is probably one of the stupidest questions, but I don't know how to do
something once during application startup.
For instance, if I wanted a bean to hold a list of states, how would I
create that once during startup?

One more advice to make your life easier: Why bother getting the states
from the database for every form ( or even the same form ) when it's
accessed ? I think the better way is to load the states when the app
starts up and store it in the application bean in format that you can
get the list very easy way, by getting it from the application bean on
the form, like this :
<html:select property="state">
<logic:present name="abean" scope="application">
<html:option key="text.choosestate" value=""/>
<html:options name="abean" property="statesarraykeys"
labelName="abean" labelProperty="statesarrayvalues"/>
</logic:present>
</html:select>
both "statesarraykeys" and "statesarrayvalues" in the application bean
are "ArrayList"(s).
Let's face it, how often a list of US states changes ? Once in 500 years
? :)
