I set up what you suggested: <html:select property="addchosencourseids" size="1"> <logic:iterate id="courses" name="availablecourses"> <bean:define id="courseid" name="courses" property="oekoid"/> <html:option value="<%= courseid %>"> <bean:write name="courseid"/><bean:write name="courses" property="name"/> </html:option> </logic:iterate> </html:select>
instead of this: <html:select multiple="true" size="10" property="addchosencourseids"> <html:options collection="availablecourses" labelProperty="displayLabel" property="courseinstanceid" /> </html:select> and I get this error: 2003-01-31 15:59:41 Error compiling file: /usr/local/bin/server-1.0/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/work/Standalone/localhost/oecon-stprg/pageparts/editschedule_0002dbody_jsp.java [javac] Compiling 1 source file /usr/local/bin/server-1.0/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/work/Standalone/localhost/oecon-stprg/pageparts/editschedule_0002dbody_jsp.java:256: cannot resolve symbol symbol : method setValue (java.lang.Object) location: class org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionTag _jspx_th_html_option_0.setValue( courseid ); ^ 1 error 2003-01-31 15:59:41 ApplicationDispatcher[/oecon-stprg] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: 85 in the jsp file: /pageparts/editschedule-body.jsp Generated servlet error: [javac] Compiling 1 source file /usr/local/bin/server-1.0/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.12/work/Standalone/localhost/oecon-stprg/pageparts/editschedule_0002dbody_jsp.java:256: cannot resolve symbol symbol : method setValue (java.lang.Object) location: class org.apache.struts.taglib.html.OptionTag _jspx_th_html_option_0.setValue( courseid ); ^ 1 error Am I missing something? Thanks, Heather --------------------- original message: Heather, What exactly do you mean by "doesn't work"? Is an exception thrown? Is the output rendered incorrectly?
