Hi Puneet,
Thanks for your input. The problem seems only to exist when using
declarative programming in the struts-config.xml file using
DynaValidatorActionForm. I now coded my onwn form class derived from
ValidatorActionForm and everything works just fine with my datastructures.

Hi Martin,
Hmm, thanks for the link.
Finally my problem is, that in the generated HTML page NONE of the
option tags has the attribute SELECTED. So my drop-down list box
displays the whole collection as expected, but setPropertyUtils seems to
have no impact otherwise the correct value should be selected.
So probably could someone post the code for a simple problem:
I have a select box eg
0 Value0
1 Value1
2 Value2
Displayed to the user is
Value0
Value1
Value2
If a specific record is looked at, the Value might be 1, so I should set
the property to 1 and the list-box should show
Value1 to the user as selected item.
This should be a very common problem but I simply cant get it working!!!

AFAIK this is done in the following way
<html:select property="foo">
<html:options collection="someCollection" property="someProperty"
labelProperty="someLabelProperty" />
</html:select>
Now the value that will be selected will be the one whose value attribute
equals the property specified in <html:select>.
i.e. suppose when the page is loaded the property foo has value "NYC"
then
the object in the options collection whose someProperty equals "NYC"
will be
selected.
So I think what you ought to have in order for the right value to be
selected is
<html:select property="expenseType.typeCode">
<html:options collections="expenseTypes" property="typeCode"
labelProperty="typeDescription" />
</html:select>
