1) In my action class I put a list (statusList) into the request. 2) In the associated JSP, I read through the bean (statusList) and display the data in a drop down box (the way you suggested):
<html:select property="statusType"> <html:options collection="statusList" property="statusType"/> </html:select> 3) When I go to validate(with the framework), and fail, I get Posted back to the inputting .jsp, but when I do, my List, statusList, is no longer there. Is there a way I can configure the call so that it keeps it in the request? Do I have to add it again to the request in the jsp? My struts config has the statusList in the form used typed by a List. I have the feeling I am just mossing something simple here to get the data back in the request. Thanks.
