Hello,
I struggled with the options tag because I did not understand what it meant
by 'collection'. I could not pass a collection along with a request because
I was at my index page. In other words, nothing had been done yet.
I instantiated the bean that had the collection and then used a <bean:define
.../> to make the collection visible to the options tag.
This is a sample define statement for a bean named Cost, with an ArrayList
called costCentres.
<bean:define id="CostList" name="Cost" property="costCentres"/>
I then reference it in my form via:
.
.
.
<html:select property="costCentre" size="0">
<html:options collection="CostList" property="value"
labelProperty="label"/>
</html:select>
.
.
.
I hope this helps.
Princeton
