Sorry - left out the return statement
public Collection getCountryList(){
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
for(int i=0;i<countryList.length; i++){
LabelValueBean bean = new
LabelValueBean(countryList[i][0],countrList[i][1]);
list.add(bean);
}
return list;
}

Subject: RE: Country List
how about something like this - you could do a lot to improve this, but here
is the basic idea. Better yet, use a properties file or a database to
specify the country list. Then use the Collection returned from this method
from the <html:options> tag to create the option list for the select.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import .../.../LabelValueBean;
public class ListHelper{
public String[][] countryList = {{"United States", "US"},{"Canada",
"CA"}...
public Collection getCountryList(){
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
for(int i=0;i<countryList.length; i++){
LabelValueBean bean = new LabelValueBean(countryList[i][0],
countrList[i][1]);
list.add(bean);
}
}
}

Subject: Country List
I am involved in converting a large Active Server Pages (ASP)
application to a JSP/Servlets solution, using the Struts framework. I am
new to Struts and I have a relatively okay grasp of JSP/Servlets/Struts.
A few of the pages in the current project use an ASP include file that
creates an HTML SELECT object of Country names and their corresponding
2-digit ISO codes.. The code is encapsulated in a function call, with
the country code to be selected passed in as a parameter, as follows:
--- snip ---
<%
Call CountryList("country", "CA")
%>
--- snip ---
which produces HTML similar to the following:
--- snip ---
<select name="country">
<option value="CA" selected>Canada</option>
<option value="US">United States</option>
<option value="FR">France</option>
<option value="FJ">Fiji</option>
<option value="FI">Finland</option>
...
etc
</select>
--- snip ---
I would like to duplicate this functionality using
JSP/Struts/JavaBeans.. whatever.. but I'm not sure the best way to do
it. Could some offer advice on what the most elegant approach to this
would be? The obvious goal would be to have a reusable component/module
that produces the necessary HTML based on a static list of country names
and codes, and to be able to pre-select a country.
Any advice is appreciated.
Regards,
Kevin J. Turner
