It is possible to write a list of objects to the request in order to use
this values to populate a drop down.
Here a short example code:
SpringController:
....
@Override
protected Map referenceData(HttpServletRequest request) throws
Exception {
Map<String, Object> model = new HashMap<String, Object>();
model.put("countryList", countryManager.getCountries());
return model;
}
....
JSP:
<form:select path="country.id">
<form:options items="${countryList}" itemValue="id" itemLabel="name"/>
</form:select>
Bye,
Peter

Betreff: Re: [appfuse-user] AW: AW: Can I use form:select with data bound
using referenceDate()
Yes, I see that the problem is with the 'path' attribute.
The problem is that I want to use the form:select tag with an object in the
request, not my command object. Overriding the referenceData() method causes
Spring to stick whatever data you load there in the request (I think ...).
It's that data that I want to use to populate my select.
It is rightly not a part of the command object, but rather data from which I
choose an Inspector. And that Inspector is assigned to my command object
when I submit.
I am not opposed to using spring:bind, I just thought I could somehow tell
the form:select tag, 'oy! don't use the command object, use the request!'
But I guess not ...
