Re: Filling data in the select tags

[Thomas Cornet]

Step 1
------
You have to make your list of countries available, that is to say storing 
the list in a scope. You can do this in the action calling the page where 
are your combos.

example :

class Country
{
        String iso_code;
        String name;
        ....
}
public class MyAction extends Action
{
public ActionForward execute(
                ActionMapping mapping,
                ActionForm form,
                HttpServletRequest request,
                HttpServletResponse response)
                throws Exception
{
        List c;
// your code and the code to fill c

request.setAttribute("countries", c);

// your code

}

Step 2 :
--------
In your jsp page,

<html:select property='country'>
        <html:options collection="countries" property="iso_code" 
labelProperty="name" />
</html:select>

Hi there,

I am new to Struts and I am wondering how can I handle the following
situation: I have a form where I have some fields for entering user data.
Some of the fields are combo boxes (<select> in html), for example a list of
countries. My question is how can I fill the data in the countries combobox?
Where should I store the data required for filling the combo? In the
ActionForm or should I put it into another bean which is stored in the
session or in the request?
where should I fill the list with the countries in an Action class?
Thanks in advance,

Florin
