The property attribute of the <html:select> must allow for capturing multiple items.
It should be a collection. Take a peek at html-select.jsp that is part of the
struts-exercise-taglib application that ships with Struts.
<html:select property="foo" size="4" multiple="true" >
<html:options collection="managerList" property="person_id"
labelProperty="person.name" /> </html:select>
Form bean --
private String[] foo;
public void setFoo(String[] in) { foo = in; }
public String[] getFoo() { return foo; }

Subject: Multiple selected for html:select
I have two collections, 1 is of managers that need to be preselected and the other is
managers that can be selected from. Here is my jsp code:
<html:select property="managers[0].id" size="4" multiple="true" >
<html:options collection="managerList" property="person_id"
labelProperty="person.name" /> </html:select>
'managers' is a Vector in a DynaActionForm, and managerList is of type List, not sure
if this matter. However, this works, but obviously only creates 1 selected option, as
seen below:
<select name="managers[0].id" multiple="multiple" size="4">
<option value="266">Gurpreet Singh</option>
<option value="267">James Eberhardt</option>
<option value="268">John Fairbanks</option>
<option value="269">Kevin Stork</option>
<option value="277">Steve Goguen</option>
<option value="365" selected="selected">Susan Rogers</option> </select>
What I want is for multiple managers to be selected, as below:
<select name="managers[0].id" multiple="multiple" size="4">
<option value="266">Gurpreet Singh</option>
<option value="267">James Eberhardt</option>
<option value="268">John Fairbanks</option>
<option value="269" selected="selected">>Kevin Stork</option>
<option value="365" selected="selected">Susan Rogers</option> </select>
Note, the bottom two are selected. What do I put in the <html:select> to make this
work?
Thanks,
