logic:iterate and field indices

[Andre Bonhote]

Hi!
I am quite new to Struts and to java, but I god hooked (former addicted 
perl programmer). Please keep this in mind before newbie-bashing me ;-)

In my project, I have some application wide settings, launched using 
web.xml's load-on-startup1/load-on-startup thing. This loaded class 
populates some attributes with values for later use. One of the 
attributes for example is holding a String[].

Now, in the jsp, I have this:
logic:iterate id=element name=showFacilitiesArray
bean:write name=element /br /
/logic:iterate
This works fine so far, but because I'd like to put that into a select 
form, I would like to go one step further: How do I print out the index 
of the current field?

I mean, I could do it in a scriptlet with a simple for loop, printing 
the i each time, but actually I would appreciate no scriptlets at all.

Any hints here? Unfortunately it's not that easy to google for that kind 
of information :-/

Thanks in advance!
André

Been there, but somehow didn't get what it was about ... closer now.
select name=... 
 logic:iterate id=element name=showFacilitiesArray indexId=index
 option value=bean:write name=index/bean:write
name=element//option
/logic:iterate 
/select
Yeehaa! Thanks a lot!
You may also want to look at html:options and html:optionsCollection
Will do that.
This would make above code a two-liner, and work with action forms.
Hm ... Could you describe the latter? I am using a form bean specified 
in struts-config.xml and that works perfectly for other fields (like 
html:text). Is there something wrong with it?

Cheers
André
