RE: select, options, define???

[VEDRE, RANAPRATAP REDDY]

you can create a collection for the rights and store it in application
context when your application starts(may be in an initialization servlet).

then use the  tag and  tag to render the admin
picklist(s).

you can use ten  tags for login fields or look into the
possibility of using an array for login fields.

Re: Select Options

[Craig Tataryn]

Hi Johnathan, I think you are getting confused with how it actually selects
the value that the user intended.

Think of it this way:


  


This means that when the form is submitted, the "type" parameter is sent to
your action class with the "value" that they selected from the options.
Because this is struts, if your FormBean happens to have a
"getType()/setType()" method on it, that property will be set at form
submission, and subsequently the  tag will "get" the value of
that property and make sure that the corresponding option is selected in in
the list.

The options tag is simple, you set the collection attribute to a collection
of objects which possess a "getValue()" and a "getLabel()" method, the
values of these methods are used in the resulting  tag for the
"value" attribute and the text that goes between the  tags
respectively..

Make sense?

Craig.

Re: Select Options

[Michael Lee]

A good example is in the struts-exersize-tablib.war in the struts/webapps
dir
look at html-select.jsp
You can create a collection of OptionBeans and select it or explicitly set
each option. There are examples of both in this jsp.

It would be hard to help with "details" without any more questions.  It
sounds like you're getting lost on a somewhat high level.  I would suggest
you read the Struts documentation thoroughly.  In addition, you could look
at the JSP pages for the "struts-exercise-taglib".  The page
"html-select.jsp" demonstrates a simple example of usage of the
"html:select" tag.

This can be done by initializing the form-bean with the value you'd like
to be selected by default. Very nice indeed.

Hi Jason,

As a matter of fact, I was going to add that.  Now
I have reason to.  Thank you. :-)

-- Larry

Select can be used with:

a: A collection of strings, such as an arraylist
b: A collection of beans, each of which has string fields
c: Hard coded values

I know you can combine a and c, as well as b and c.  I'm
guessing you could combine a, b, and c as well.

With An ArrayList of Strings


ArrayList name is nameList.  This list has been put into 
either the request or session.

name of field in form bean to set is selectedValue.





How to Set a Selected Value
---
Modify select as follows:




where aName is one of the names in the arrayList.

With An ArrayList of Beans
--

Bean string fields of interest are:
  1.  displayValue
  2.  idValue

ArrayList name is beanList.  This list has been put into 
either the request or session.

name of field in form bean to set is selectedValue.  It
should be set to the idValue of the selected bean.





How to Set a Selected Value
---
Modify select as follows:



where aProperty is one of the strings in the field of the bean
specified by property in the options tag.

With HardCoded Values
-

name of field in form bean to set is selectedValue.

Re: select/options/option

[Arron]

The value which is returned from the "property" property in the select 
tag will make the choice for you if one of the choices matches this value.

eg.
Use the options tag running off a list, and if the property which is 
specified in the select tag matches one, Struts will select it for you.

RE: select options doesn't work

[Krueger, Jeff]

In your Form bean change your set method to take a string.

   public void setMarketList(String marketList)
   {
   }

You will only get the item the user selected back in your bean, not the
whole list.

Yes, that helps a lot. 
I want to do the above as I have a DataBean that stores commonly used 
lists of data. (credit card types, category names, brand names etc).

I want to be able to use the same bean every time I want to display that
data.
Yet have my FormBean store the result of the users selection.
Will the value on my FormBean be updated or the value on the DataBean be
updated
with the users selection?

Re: select options

[Martin Cooper]

It seems the documentation is wrong. It should be something like this
instead:

- 8< -
The attribute name of the bean whose properties are consulted to determine
which option should be pre-selected when rendering this input field. If not
specified, the bean associated with the form tag we are nested within is
utilized. [RT Expr]
- 8< -

As with the other form-related tags, I have never had to specify the name
attribute, because I've always been able to use the default, meaning "use
the form's bean".

Hope this helps.

RE: Select/Options Tag

[Chalmers, Douglas]

Thanks for that. Got it passing a string array now. Managed to pass all
options by calling a script function to select them all before posting.

This bug was just fixed, so you will need the most current nightly
release.  You can now have a property that returns a String array, and
use
it to back a SELECT statement that allows multiple options:


... Use  and/or  here ...


and Struts will correctly remember all of the selected values, based on
the contents of your array.

There is a test page (html-select.jsp) in the Struts test application
(struts-test.war) that illustrates how this works.
