I don't get this... I want to show the combined attributes from my entity in the displayString. What I want is:

displayString = "$theUser.firstName" + " " + "$theUser.lastName"

but of course this doesn't work. I feel i am missing something obvious but it isn't coming forth.

My entity has:

firstName
lastName

and I want to keep it normalized like this.

<wo:WOPopUpButton list = "$repList" displayString = "$theUser.firstName"
           item = "$theUser" selection = "$theUser" />

You can use an ognl expression like "~theUser.firstName + ' ' + theUser.lastName" or since the chances of you wanting to do this more than once is quite high, you could add a fulName() method to your eo that returns the desired value and bind directly to 'theUser.fullName' instead.
