What's the best approach to populate a select box dynamically?
Imagine I need select boxes for the following fields (vehicle): Make Model Year Each of them are linked. If I select Make model should refresh and so for model and year. I was thinking about using <s:action/> tag to render the output but I've heard that's not recommended. Also I've heard that you should implement it in the prepare() method of the Preparable interface but I have my doubts because what if I need to use those select boxes across different jsp pages, should I repeat the same logic through all those prepare() methods of their respective Actions? Another approach would be to use javascript and get the values through AJAX. Or should I use JSP custom tags? What do you think? What do you suggest? Alfredo Osorio
