Thank you I am using struts, and am relatively new to java, I have never dealt with a map??, and don't know what JSTL is, but I am reading up on it now. If there is a resource that shows something like this it would be appreciated.
-----Original Message----- From: Eric W Hauser [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] i'm guessing that you are using Struts...so, why don't you just get those fields out of the database in an Action class and set them as a request attribute? maybe you could store them in a Map with constants in your JSP as your keys and then use JSTL to retreive those values? If you're doing that, I would even go one step further and define those constants in your application resources file...But try this: <html:select value="<c:out value="requestScope.selectMap['MY_FIELD_NAME']"/>"> I know this has been a big discussion of late, but I would stay away from a tag library that grabs stuff out of a database. If you're using Struts, why would you want to give up the benefits of the MVC2 pattern by adding tags that do logic to your view?
