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.
