Here's a sample from a form that uses states. The states are generated from
a class to keep less java on the jsp page, but you can see how the options
are generated and set to selected if they match the value in the bean.
<select tabindex="7" name="State">
<option value="" selected>Choose a State
</option>
<%State[] states = State.getAll();
for(int i=0; i<states.length; i++){
String ab = states[i].getAbbreviation();
String nm = states[i].getName();%>
<option value=<%=ab%>
<%if(ab.equals(setupBean.getAgentState())){%>selected<%}%>><%=nm%></option>
<%}%>
</select>
Hope that helps!

Subject: Easy question - Java Beans
Just curious if anyone knows how to use bean properties so that on a retry
of a form, the previously selected item in a select list is maintained if
validated. For example, for "Select Your State". If I select NY, but
something else on my form is wrong, when Retry.jsp is brought up, the State
select box is still on "NY".
Is this possible? I am currently using the same code as I do for the text
fields, but the state is not being maintained.
Thanks!
