A multiple select seems to be the 'simplest thing that could possibly work' for this, but there are other options. For example, something like s:optiontransferselect [1] gives a slightly fancier way of providing the same thing. Another alternative would be to have an Ajax-y 'combo box' to select the first author/book, and an 'add another' button, or a select/combo that onchange added the selection to a separate list and reset, or...

Again, without knowing why you don't like the multi-select solution, it's all a little vague and hand-wavy.

Sorry Laurie.
I will try to make me clarify

I just want to build a form field that
* in a Author profile will let me select the books that a author have.
* in a Book profile will let me select the authors of the book.

It could be possible by a multiple select but I really dont like this
solution so I asked looking for a better way.

Thank u

Like a Writer and Books relation where a Writer could write some books and
a
book could be written by some writers.

I was thinking in a concrete Struts tag but I find nothing.

Could you show me how to solve this issue in a generic way?

It's a bit difficult to offer advice when the requirements are this
vague... What do you want this form to do? Allow you to edit a book's
authors? Allow you to edit an authors books? Some combination of both? (how
would that work?)
