Hi Your best bet for this is to add a new method to you bean, which returns the first and last name concatenated into a single String value.
Hermod -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Janne Mattila [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 24. august 2004 13:56 Til: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Emne: Complicated select - option structure? I am toying around with a simple test application. In one page user creates a new record, and picks the artist for that record with a select pulldown. My artist object has a first name and a last name separately. Initially I displayed only last name: <html-el:select property="artistId"> <html-el:optionsCollection property="allArtists" value="id" label="lastName"/> </html-el:select> Quite nice and compact. When I wanted to include also the last name, best I could come up with was: <html-el:select property="artistId"> <c:forEach var="artist" items="${recordForm.allArtists}"> <html-el:option value="${artist.id}"> <c:out value="${artist.firstName} ${artist.lastName}"/> </html-el:option> </c:forEach> </html-el:select> It seems quite complicated - is there any way to use EL and optionsCollectionTag, for example, to achieve a simpler structure? _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
