I think you need to used nested iterate to get the desired result.Since you are storing objects in the Collection,each value that is returned by labelProperty is just object.toString();

I have a Form class: public Collection getMyMonthList() { myMonthList = new Vector(); Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(new Date(01012003)); for (int i = 1; i < 13; i++) { String label = monthListFormat.format(zeroTime(cal.getTime(), Calendar.MONTH, i)); LabelValueBean labelBean = new LabelValueBean("i", label); myMonthList.add(labelBean); } return myMonthList; } and a jsp-file with: <html:select size="1" property="reportDateMonth"> <html:options property="myMonthList" labelProperty="myMonthList"/> </html:select> But this returns LabelValueBean[i,February] LabelValueBean[i,March] LabelValueBean[i,April] LabelValueBean[i,May] LabelValueBean[i,June] LabelValueBean[i,July] LabelValueBean[i,August] LabelValueBean[i,September] LabelValueBean[i,October] LabelValueBean[i,November] LabelValueBean[i,Desember] LabelValueBean[i,January] I want to display the name (eg. january) and the value in the option tag (eg. 1). What have I done wrong?
