Suppose you declare list of companies as:
private List<Company> companies = new ArrayList<Company>();
Now you got to have getter for this property as:
public List<Company> getCompanies(){
return companies;
}
You can prepopulate your companies list implementing Preparable interface in
your action. Upon implementing you will have to override prepare method as:
public void prepare() throws Exception {
companies =//use data access methods or whatever you have to fetch
the companies
}
you can use following tag to display the dropdown box:
<s:select label="Select Company"
name="company" list="companies" listKey="companyId"
listValue="companyName"/>
you can fetch the selected company as id declaring a property as the name of
the dropdown box as:
private Long company;
you got to have setter for this property as:
private void setCompany(Long id){
company = id;
}
so the submitted value will be set in that property.
