Re: How Do I Create This Drop-Down List in Struts?

[Mark Lowe]

The collection that you want to iterate through and the form property 
aren't linked as such only when you nest the html:options tag in the 
html:select tag

So your html:select form property is like any other form property, and 
when submitted will only the form property will be set to only one 
value from the list.
<html:select property="editor">
	//now the list in the options tags is only really associated
	//with the form property as its nested in the html:select
	<html:options collection="mycollection"

the property attribute in the html:options tag is to drill to the 
property of the bean thats exposed during the iteration and hasn't much 
to do with the form itself.

My ArrayList is a collection of bean object.  The
ArrayList is created this way:
public Collection findEditors( String userrole, String
category )

   ..........
   EditorBean editorBean = null;
   ArrayList editors = new ArrayList();
   // database access code
   while( rs.next() )
   {
      editorBean = new EditorBean(
rs.getString("user_name") );
      editors.add( editorBean );
   }
   return editors;
   .......
}
and my EditorBean is like:

public class EditorBean
{
   private String name;
   public EditorBean() {}

   public EditorBean( String name )
   {
      this.name = name;
   }
   public String getName() {
      return Name;
   }
   public void setName( String name ) {
      this.name = name;
   }
}
After "editors" is returned, I create a session
object:
session.setAttribute( "EDITORS", editors );

How do I create a drop-down list for this collection
of editors?
<html:select size="1" property="??????"
multiple="false">
    <html:options collection="??????" property="name"
labelProperty="name"/>
</html:select>
