<html:optionsCollection name="statesNew" property="list"/> was indeed the fix. Thank you Jim, you rock. What I don't understand is that I thought I had tried that before as well and that it had screamed about not finding the bean in any scope. I must have been giving the wrong bean name - who cares?!
Thanks again,
Kevin

As for thorough flamings... I like my meat medium rare :)
<snip setup code>
// msgres is a MessageResources object // sc is the ServletContext object String statesList = msgres.getMessage("list.states"); statesNew = LabelValueListBean.populate(sc.getRealPath(statesList)); sc.setAttribute("statesNew", statesNew); // I now print out the LabelValueListBean System.out.println(statesNew.toString());
looks good.
<snip>
I have tried various methods, all of which failed, of accessing the LabelValueListBean object in a JSP page via tag libraries for use in html:optionsCollection and the like.
Attempts: (<app:xxx> is the Jakarta application tag library)
<html:select property="homeState"> <app:attributes id="statesTest" name="statesNew"> <html:optionsCollection name="statesTest" property="list"/> </app:attributes>
I think that html:optionsCollection will search up the scope to application scope to find statesNew.
I would check the java code and make sure that there is a getList for statesNew, then try and get rid of the app:attributes and see if that helps.
</html:select>
The above returns the following: javax.servlet.ServletException: No getter method for property list of bean statesTest
In my desperation:
<html:select property="homeState"> <html:optionsCollection name='${applicationScope.statesNew}'
This translates rougly to applicationScope.getStatesNew()
property="list"/> </html:select>
<html:optionsCollection name="statesNew" >
javax.servlet.ServletException: Cannot find bean Label: Alabama --- Value: AL Label: Alaska --- Value: AK Label: Arizona --- Value: AZ ... (the rest of the toString() of LabelValueListBean)
What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this? I am going about this a totally wrong way? I figure the solution is probably quite simple and under my foolish nose. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin
