I want to access a collection with names or numbers (just java.lang.String). This collection is available in the session. For testing I generated my own collection in the jsp <% java.util.Collection list = new java.util.ArrayList(); teilnehmerListe.add("name1"); teilnehmerListe.add("name2"); teilnehmerListe.add("name3"); session.setAttribute("myList", list); %> <html:form action="/myAction.do"> <html:select property="selectedItem"> <html:options collection="myList" /> </html:select> <html:submit>OK</html:submit> </html:form> When I run this I get an IllegalArgumentException: no name specified I found out that both "select" and "options" have an argument "name" so I added some dummies "test1" and "test2" just to have it and get (as expected) another error: no bean found by that name "test1". What am I doing wrong? Can someone point me to the right direction?
