Step 1.
In JSP
<html:select property="choice" value="2" >
<html:options labelProperty="labels" property="values"/>
</html:select>
Step 2.
the formbean has methods getLabels and getValues()
public Collection getLabels()
{
ArrayList a = new ArrayList();
a.add("One");
a.add("Two");
a.add("Three");
return a;
}
public Collection getValues()
{
ArrayList a = new ArrayList();
a.add("1");
a.add("2");
a.add("3");
return a;
}
Step 3.
Notice the value attribute of <html:select> .This is the value to compare
with for marking an option selected. Since I have specified value="2" so
option "Two" will be selected.
