Hi all
I have created a jsp tag that will look up a collection (of LabelValueBeans) and return the label of the value. For example we store position description in a code table such as
Code Description
1 Director
2 Manager
3 Assistant Manager
4 Staff
In the User table, we store Logon Position Jack 1 Jill 2 Charlie 2
In a UserList.jsp
<logic:iterate ...> Logon : <bean:write name="user" property="logon"/> Position: <bean:write name="user" property="position"/> </logic:iterate>
This will produce the following list Logon : Jack Position: 1 Logon : Jill Position: 2 Logon : Charlie Position: 2
To display the position description instead of the position number, I added a list of LabelValueBeans to the session (ie session.setAttribute("session.positionlevel"); ) and changed the JSP to the following.
<logic:iterate ...>
Logon : <bean:write name="user" property="logon"/>
Position: <ma:droplist name="user" property="position" labelValueList="session.positionlevel"/>
</logic:iterate>
The droplist tag will produce the following with Logon : Jack Position: Director Logon : Jill Position: Manager Logon : Charlie Position: Manager
I am happy to contribute this back the STRUTS tag lib or if anyone is interested, let me know and I will send you the code. This functionality consists of
ma-droplist.tld com.ma.struts.taglib.droplisttag.java com.ma.struts.taglib.droplisttag.class
To add the functionality to your JSP you will need to
1) Add the tld to your web.xml. 2) Add the tld to your JSP.
This tag also works with indexed beans as droplisttag.java is extended from writetag.java.
