How did you get the collection in your jsp page. Did you create it there, or did you bring it in from your ActionForm.
If you would create a get/set on your FormBean and place it in the FormBean in your Action object, then you can get it from the form bean with the collection attribute in select. If you want I can outline the code to do this.
