I thought I could use value to override what property was being used to determine which item was selected. I cannot use associatedSalesperson as my matching item. It won't match. We do some processing on the input before we put it in our database... That's what I want to use the other method to output a string that will match. > > In an earlier message, you wrote: >> <html:select property="associatedSalesperson" >> name="sampleRequestCompleteForm" >> value="encodeAssociatedSalespersonID"> > > The 'property' in the <html:select> tag needs to match the get/set methods. > You DO NOT need to use the 'value' attribute, Struts will automatically > pre-select the right value based on what's in the Form bean. > > (I'm almost certain I answered this last week...
