The problem is that the type of the property that the tag handler exposes as an
attribute has to be assignable from the type of the expression. Taking the
current example:
<html:select styleClass="field" property="assignedTo">
<logic:iterate id="element" name="employees">
<html:option value="<%= ((java.util.Map.Entry)element).getKey() %>">
<bean:write name="element" property="value.firstName"/>
<bean:write name="element" property="value.lastName"/>
</html:option>
</logic:iterate>
</html:select>
The type of the expression is Object and the type of the tag handler's
(OptionTag) value property is String. So you'll end up with a compilation error
like:
setValue(java.lang.String) in org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionTag cannot be
applied to (java.lang.Object)
In which case, either of these should work:
<%= ((java.util.Map.Entry)element).getKey().toString() %>
<%= String.valueOf(((java.util.Map.Entry)element).getKey()) %>
If you know that the key really is a String, you could also cast:
<%= (String)((java.util.Map.Entry)element).getKey() %>
