The tables work great. I was just looking for some tags like the
following:
On an individual input event parameter going into a server state -
@andromda.struts.view.field.type=select
@andromda.struts.view.field.key=myPageVariableCollection.id
@andromda.struts.view.field.value=myPageVariableCollection.label
{Renders all of the beans from my event parameter (Collection) using
each bean's 'id' and 'label' property as key/value in a select on the
input form}
If this is not possible, OK. If you are too busy, OK. I was just
wondering if there was a way to do this - not trying to pressure
anybody. I couldn't tell clearly from any documentation how to use the
type=select option.
The select drop-box seems easier to implement than "tables" or
"multibox". I would implement this myself if I had spent the time to
learn to implement cartridges at this point, but I haven't.
