The <html:options....> and <html:optionsCollection...> tags expect a
collection of beans - not String values.
If you put the values in beans then you it goes something like
<html:select name="myForm" property="roleName">
<html:optionsCollection name="myForm" property="roleList"
label="roleName" value="roleId"/>
</html:select>
So you store the list of roles in your action form under the property
"roleList" and that contains a List of beans which
have roleName and roleId properties.
