I have a struts 2 select tag like this: <s:select emptyOption="true" name="fmrUsers.terminationReason" multiple="true" headerKey="-1" list="rejectionReasons" value="%{fmrUsers.terminationReason}" required="true" size="10"/>
everything seems to work OK except that when i select values and click submit. they are not being updated and not showing on the page that comes after submit is clicked. name="fmrUsers.terminationReason" corresponds to the following method: public void setTerminationReason(String[] terminationReason) { this.terminationReason = terminationReason; } and value="%{fmrUsers.terminationReason}" corresponds to the following method: public List getTerminationReason() { return Arrays.asList(terminationReason); } On the page that displays results (comes after submit) I have the following code which is used to display the rejection reasons <td class="nav"><s:property value="terminationReason"/></td> it corresponds to following java code public List getTerminationReason() { return Arrays.asList(terminationReason); } I have hardcoded some sample data for example: returnListArray.add(new FormerUsers("123456789", new String[] {"Reason1","Reason2","Reason3"}); the above code displays the rejections reasons successfully on my list page. However, when i select other reasons from the edit page and click submit, the list page is not showing the changes that I made. Why is it not picking up the data selected in the multiple box? so i need to change the data type of my methods? if so, to what should i change it to. If its confusing...I am just trying to see how multiple things can be selected from a multiple box and stored back into the data...
