Hi Brian,
you are almost there, the way you are doing the html:options tag is trying to fetch
your collection from the method 'getConstName()' in some bean stored in
'constituencies' (since you defined 'name' attribute). But you already have your
collection stored in 'constituencies', then you should use the 'collection' to specify
the collection with labels and/or values.
Try this:
<html:select property="constName">
<html:options collection="constituencies" property="constValue"
labelProperty="constName" />
</html:select>
where 'property' will render the 'value' attribute of <option> and 'labelProperty'
will render the value shown to the user as option.

Subject: <html:options> Tag
Hey!
I am trying to populate a drop down list with values that I have in a
Collection but it is not working. This is what I have so far in my JSP:
<html:select property="constName">
<html:options name="constituencies" property="constName" />
</html:select>
I have a Collection called constituencies stored in my session and it has
javaBeans as elements in it. THese javabeans have a getConstName() attribute
so the property="constName" in my tag should be ok.
However, I think the problem is that my Collection should be a javabean. I
read on the struts website
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-html.html#options that the
javabean represents a collection of other javabeans. How can I have a
collection of other javabeans inside my bean?
I'd appreciate any help.
THanks,
Brian
