I finally figured out what was wrong.
The below did not work:
<html:select property="<%= OrganizationForm.PARENT_ORG_ID %>"
value="<%=OrganizationForm.PARENT_ORG_ID %>">
<html:options collection="<%= Constants.ORG_LIST %>"
property="<%= Constants.SELECT_VALUE %>"
labelProperty="<%= Constants.SELECT_LONG_NAME %>"/>
</html:select>
because value expects a constant, not a reference to a field in a form.
My solution was to put the value into the session in my action class,
thusly:
request.getSession().setAttribute(ORG_TYPE,orgType);
Then in the jsp I now have:
<html:select property="<%= OrganizationForm.PARENT_ORG_ID %>"
value="<%= (String)
request.getSession().getAttribute(EditOrganizationAction.PARENT_ORG_ID) %>">
<html:options collection="<%= Constants.ORG_LIST %>"
property="<%= Constants.SELECT_VALUE
%>"
labelProperty="<%= Constants.SELECT_LONG_NAME %>"/>
</html:select>
This works, because the value is a string. Now, the next question is, can I
do
this with the value stored in my form bean, instead of having to stuff it
into
the session (by the way, stuffing into the request did not work)?
