Hi, thanks for the reply. First, 'anything' is the property for the <html:select ....> tag; therefore, 'anything' has nothing to do with my particular problem.
Second, There is no problem with the database operation. Data are retrieved and can be displayed using the <c:forEach ....> tag. Now, it is the drop-down menu. I have a collection of JavaBean(s) upon successful completion of an action to pass onto a .jsp: Collection pages = service.getPages(); request.setAttribute( "PageBeans", pages ); The individual JavaBean in the Collection is called PageBean. The PageBean has only one property called 'name' (I made it simple for testing purpose) with the get and set methods. In my listpages.jsp, I have <%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-html" prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="/tags/struts-bean" prefix="bean" %> <%@ page import="org.dhsinfo.content.PageBean" %> <bean:define id="nameList" name="PageBeans" scope="request" type="java.util.ArrayList" /> <html:select size="1" property="anything" multiple="false"> <html:options collection="nameList" property="name" labelProperty="name"/> </html:select> it ended with this error message: Http Status 500 root cause javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean under name org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN and in the Tomcat logs file: 2004-09-20 12:03:38 ApplicationDispatcher[/DHSInfo] Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Cannot find bean under name org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN --- Matt Bathje <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Caroline - I have 3 suggestions. > > The first is to make sure that you are using the > correct form name in > your html:form, and that the form definition is > setup correctly in > struts-config.
