Hi: I have a struts application that allows me to update a list of employees data.
The following is a 'desired' Update screen to update all employees information on 'one' screen: Employee Name Employee Age Department (this is a drop down) Anderson, John 30 a drop-down list of Boston-branch departments to choose from Johnson, Mary 35 a drop-down list of Portland-branch departments to choose from Wilson Bob 25 a drop-down list of L.A-branch departments to choose from ------------------------------------------------------------------------ My Data Beans: // the department property will be populated based on the selection from the drop-down // 'departmentDropDown'. Each employee has it's unique drop-down 'departmentDropDown'. public class EmployeeDTO { private String name; private String age; private String department; private ArrayList departmentDropDown; // this list can be different for different employees } Public class DepartmentBean { private String id; private String dName; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- My EmployeeForm: public class EmployeeForm extends org.apache.struts.action.ActionForm implements Serializable { private ArrayList listOfEmployees; private EmployeeDTO employee; private ArrayList aDropDown; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- My UpdateEmployees.jsp: <jsp:useBean id="listOfEmployees" type="java.util.Collection" scope="session"/> <logic:iterate id="emp" name="listOfEmployees" type="com.myCompany.EmployeeDTO "> <tr> <td><html:text property="name"/></td> <td><html:text property="age"/></td> <td> <html:select name="emp" property="department"> <html:options collection="emp.departmentDropDown" property="id" labelProperty="dName"/> </html:select> </td> </tr> </logic:iterate> ** listOfEmployees is an ArrayList of 'EmployeeDTO' in session. ** each empoloyee's departmentDropDown has been set as an ArrayList of 'DepartmentBean'. But when I ran I keep getting an error like this: Cannot find bean under name emp.departmentDropDown' javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean under name emp.departmentDropDown at org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionsTag.getIterator(.... Did I struture my <html:options> within the <logic:iterate> wrong? If it is wrong, how do I display a <html:options> within a <logic:iterate>? -------------------------------------------------------------- I modiefied my JSP and tried another way but it doesn't work either: <jsp:useBean id="listOfEmployees" type="java.util.Collection" scope="session"/> <logic:iterate id="emp" name="listOfEmployees" type="com.myCompany.EmployeeDTO "> <bean:define id="aDropDown" property="emp.departmentDropDown" <tr> <td><html:text property="name"/></td> <td><html:text property="age"/></td> <td> <html:select name="emp" property="department"> <html:options collection="aDropDown" property="id" labelProperty="dName"/> </html:select> </td> </tr> </logic:iterate> Then I will get this error: [ServletException in:/jsp/part/editSubsystemPart.jsp] Cannot find bean under name aDropDown' javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean under name aDropDown at org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionsTag.getIterator(OptionsTag.java:407) at Any help will be appreciated...
