There are many different ways. From do it yourself to get your options
>From a collection that is a bean in one of the contexts.
I will explain do it yourself method the others are similar with an
exception there are better ways to point to your collections.
Suppose you have a SystemDictionary object that has a bunch of static
listThisAndThat () methods that return collections. Now to turn this
Collection into options drop-down.
You do the following in your JSP:
<% page.setAttribute ("myCountries", SystemDictionary.listCountries ());
%>
:
:
<html:select name="country">
<html:options collection="myCountries" property="countryId"
labelProperty="countryName" />
</html:select>
This will render a drop-down on your HTML that will have countries to
Select from. Note Your SystemDictionary.listCountries () should return
A collection of Country objects that have at least two methods
getCountryId () and getCountryName (). Each of which will be called to
render your options as follows:
<option value="<%= currentCountry.getCountryId ().toString () %>"><%=
currentCountry.getCountryName ().toString () %></option>
> Any information would be very helpful to me.
Just read <html:select>, <html:options> and <html:optionsCollection>
documentation. It is a bit confusing at first but if you take your time
to read it thru and play around with it, you going to save some time.
