Return an object using

[Russell Healy]

Is it possible to set an object in an action form to an object from a 
list using an <html:select>?

My code is:

struts-config:
<form-bean
  name="activityForm"
  type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
  <form-property name="activityType" type="ActivityType"/>
  <form-property name="activityTypes" type="java.util.ArrayList"/>
</form-bean>
ActivityType bean:
public class ActivityType {
 private long id;
 private String name;
 public String getName(){ return name; }
 public void setName(String name){ this.name = name; }
 public long getId(){ return id; }
 public void setId(long id){ this.id = id; }
}
jsp snippet:
<html:select name="activityForm" property="activityType">
 <html:optionsCollection
   name="activityForm"
   property="activityTypes"
   value="id"
   label="name"/>
</html:select>
This obviously doesn't work, because I am trying to assign a long to an 
object.

Is there another way to do this? Has it been discussed before?

TIA

Russell
