Select does not use a collection.

This type of logic doesn't really fit in the domain object tier. Is this done by DAO only? Assuming that all I need is a name/value pair, what type of object/collection should this DAO return? How/where should I then convert these values into an object/collection of objects the struts html:select tags can use?
If confused, just use a html:text first and validate (for example w/CRUD). Set dept id = 101
Then.... you could use optionsCollection; and like you said it needs a collection of all possible values. As long as it ends up in JSP scope (request? or nested) you should be set. (101/Marketing, 102/Sales, 103/ Accounting, etc.)
