collection attribute of <html:options> tag is used to set the name of a bean (in some
scope) that is a collection of the
items off the select-box.
You need to put your Vector into page or request scope to use this tag:
<%
request.setAttribute("items", agencyIds);
%>
<html:select property="agencyId">
<html:options collection="agencyIds"
label="label"
value="value" />
</html:select>
