In you ActionForm java class, you have to define the selectedCountry instance
variable. For example
....
....
public MyForm extends ActionForm {
private String [] selectedCountry = {}; // if the option is multiple selection (check
box or multiple selection listbox)
// private String selectCountry; // if the option is single selection
(radio button or dropdown box)
// generate getter and setter method based on the above variable)
}
When Struts populates the data, it checks the selectedCountry array in your form. If
the country is found in your ActionForm, Struts automatically adds "selected" to that
item (country). You don't have to do anything as long as your ActionForm class defined
correctly.
I have done for radio button, checkbox, dropdown box, single and multiple listbox.
They work well!
