I guess you got just the same problem as I had. 1. I guess you misunderstood the way of ActionClass and ActionForm.
First of all, the ActionForm gets filled with the data the user types in the input fields on your jsp. Then the action gets called. So I bet putting your List into a Form won't help you, because you will build it in your action. You have to: At the end of your action, write an request.setAtribute for your list. Even better might be, to put your list into a bean and to put this bean into request. Then you should be able to use it. You should carefully read: http://localhost:8080/struts-documentation/struts-html.html#options Imho it's written quite tricky. I needed some time to fully understand it. (I'm german, so it was even harder) How to use the options tag depends wether your using a bean, a form, a property.... I got a Vector of Strings in a Bean, and I am not using the Form (I doubt this could work) Here's my solution: <html:form action="getAlaskaGroups.do" method="POST"> <html:select property="plantSelection" size="1"> <html:option value="%"><bean:message key="index.selectbox.all"/></html:option> <html:options name="plantListBean" property="plantList"/> </html:select> <br> <html:submit><bean:message key="submit.getAlaskaGroups"/></html:submit> </html:form> hope this helps. marcus p.s: My Vector is build dynamically from database -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
