OOPS! I wasn't paying attention to which list I was on. :( This belongs here on struts-user, not struts-dev.

Properties implements Map, so if you do the usual to read in a .properties file, along the lines of... ClassLoader cl = MyAction.class.getClassLoader(); Properties props = new Properties(); InputStream input = cl.getResourceAsStream( "countries.properties" ); props.load( props ) ; Then you should be able to use the 'props' object with the <html:select> tag. Not that I've tried it, but it seems like it should work. Since countries will probably not change during runtime, you could do this in a ContextListener and put the Map in Application scope. That way it'll be there for everyone who needs it. -- Wendy Smoak Applications Systems Analyst, Sr. Arizona State University, PA, IRM --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
