Re: [HTML-TAG] select tag and collections : need of a very simple example

[Erik Weber]

                               <html:select styleClass="dropdown" 
property="businessState" size="1">
                                 <html:option value="">State:</html:option>
                                 <html:options name="USStateValues" 
labelName="USStateLabels"/>
                               </html:select>

Where USStateValues and USStateLabels are application scope attributes. 
USStateValues is {"AL", "AZ", "AR", . . .} and USStateLabels is 
{"Alabama", "Arizona", . . .} etc. The user sees the label, and the 
value is what's posted.

Hello,
I am quite new to Struts, but have been playing with this framework 
for some time now (mostly as a means of understanding the 
framework)... There is still one thing that isn't clear for me though 
: I understand how to use a "simple" html:select tag, but when it 
comes to use a Collection object (such as an ArrayList or a Vector, as 
these are the objects that are mostly used in tutorials), I am finding 
myself a little bit confused. I am not sure as to exactly what the 
attributes of the <html:select/> and <html:options/> refer to. I've 
already searched through the examples of the distribution, as well as 
other sites (like jguru), but I really have a problem dealing with 
select...

My use would be something very basic, such as retrieving a list/array 
of string values (from a database, for instance), and display them as 
options for my select. I'd first thought of using something like the 
<logic:iterate/> tag, but I suppose it wouldn't be very coherent with 
the existence of <html:options/> ...

Could someone post a very simple case of how to use the html:options 
tag ?

Thank you very much.
Stephane
