I think I am. I changed the JSP to also display the license id as a
text field. The JSP is
<html:form action="/updateSoftware" >
<html:hidden property="id"/>
Name <html:text property="name" /><br>
Location <html:text property="location" /><br>
Approved <html:checkbox property="approved"
value="true"/><br>
License ID: <html:text property="license" /><br>
License
<html:select property="license" value="license">
<html:option
value="-1"> </html:option>
<html:options collection="allLicenses"
property="id" labelProperty="name" />
</html:select><br>
Notes <html:text property="notes" /><br>
<html:submit/>
</html:form>
The HTML that is outputted is
<form name="SoftwareForm" method="post"
action="/SoftwareTracker2/updateSoftware.do">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="1">
Name <input type="text" name="name" value="Apache Web Server"><br>
Location <input type="text" name="location" value="loc2"><br>
Approved <input type="checkbox" name="approved" value="true"><br>
License ID: <input type="text" name="license" value="42"><br>
License
<select name="license">
<option value="-1"> </option>
<option value="22">Apache Software License</option>
<option value="42">asd</option>
</select><br>
Notes <input type="text" name="notes" value=" "><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
As you can see, the license id has a value of 42. There is an option
with a value of 42 that is not selected. If I hard code the 42 so I
have JSP that looks like
<html:select property="license" value="42">
<html:option value="-1"> </html:option>
<html:options collection="allLicenses" property="id"
labelProperty="name" />
</html:select><br>
I get what I expect
<select name="license">
<option value="-1"> </option>
<option value="22">Apache Software License</option>
<option value="42" selected="selected">asd</option>
</select><br>

Subject: Re: select tag and value issue
Your JSP code looks OK (except obviously you want to remove the
value="22" from the html:select tag). Are you sure the value you're
setting in form.license is correct?
