hi! thanks for the reply. doesn't the jsp import statement followed by the usebean ie, %@ page import="MyUtils" %> <jsp:useBean id="agencyIds" type="java.util.Vector" /> introduce the agencyIds into page scope. also with the example you gave me should
<html:select property="agencyId">
<html:options collection="agencyIds"
label="label"
value="value" />
</html:select>
thanks cheers ajay

collection attribute of <html:options> tag is used to set the name of a bean (in some scope) that is a collection of the
items off the select-box.
You need to put your Vector into page or request scope to use this tag:
<% request.setAttribute("items", agencyIds); %>
<html:select property="agencyId"> <html:options collection="agencyIds" label="label" value="value" /> </html:select>
Nico.
