I feel like this should be added to the documentation, too. ::snicker::

Sorry, OT.

Please use plain-text messages.

"The pastebin" isn't an attached message, it's something on pastebin.
Please don't attach files--they don't work on the actual mailing list.

The bottom line is that you're new to programming, and new to Struts 2. This is 
going to make things very, /very/ difficult for you, and for us.

You keep posting tiny little pieces of the puzzle. If you don't understand why 
it's important to tell the details, please read the following two resources:

http://www.coderanch.com/how-to/java/TellTheDetails
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

We don't know how you're retrieving the things to show in the dropdown--you can 
post just the code for that.

You can also help yourself out by putting in readable, meaningful log 
statements (like indicating how many items are in the list being sent to the 
view layer (the JSP)). You can put breakpoints on code to see if it's actually 
being executed. You can take the time to understand how the framework functions 
by turning on devMode and cranking the log level up to DEBUG (this will 
generate a lot of output; be patient).

In short, really try to think about what's going on, and recognize that we're 
not in front of your machine and do not have any way to work out your issues 
without you providing us a lot of information.
This is the nature of what we do: it's inherently complex, and communicating 
that complexity is one of the greatest challenges we face.
