...it looks like the list is being pulled from the map like I want it to,
but instead of the actual list being used as collection to iterate, the
tag lib is calling toString() on the list, and looking for a bean under
that name.
Okay, I gave up and read the documentation (
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/struts-html.html#options ) which says
that 'collection' is the "Name of the JSP bean (in some scope) which is
itself a Collection of other beans." Instead of having collection evaluate
to the actual List, it needs to be the _name_ of the List.
I went back and looked at my projects, and sure enough, I have no
expressions in the 'collection' attribute. Unfortunately, if your List is
inside a Map, it doesn't really have a name. You can use <c:set> to name
it. (And this time, I tested the code. Sorry for the earlier incorrect
example!)
<c:set var="salesList" value="${departmentMap.sales}" />
<html-el:select name="userForm" property="employee">
<html-el:options collection="salesList" property="label"
labelProperty="value"/>
</html-el:select>
