Also i dont understand why u need to access the request directly.I mean why are u setting all the collections as request attributes.GEnerally I think the good design is when u r FormBEan represents the screen data.So in this case whatever u need on screen will become attribute of form. I know it does not make much difference in implemantation but as a design it becomes pretty straight forward.I mean for an action , if u just look at the form, u know what is being displayed.So u just populate the form in action.

Users in this case is a map defined in my business logic class that does db queries. users = (ListUsers).getUsers(); request.setAttribute("users",users); I itertate through this collection using iterate. But now i want to use this in a select menu. Should I be thinking about making my collection available to my FormBean i.e making a getMyList() method.
