Here's how I would do it. Change the name of the existing method that
returns a collection and add a method to get the vname:
public Collection getVnameList(){
return new DBAccess().getVendorNames();
}
public void setVname(String value){
xxxxxx
}
public String getVname(){
xxxxxx
}
Then change your <bean:define> property to "vnameList". That should
do the trick.
