Can somebody help me how to not display a value from dropdown which is populated from database using java. Lets say the value is 'ABC'
Here is my code for populating from the database



1. public List findAllTypes(String state, String grp) {
2. state = state.substring(0, 2).toUpperCase();
3. state = StateConverter.convert(state);
4. String sql = null;
5. sql = "exec sp_all_types ?";
6.
7. logger.debug("findAllTypes SQL: " + sql + "[" + state + "]");
8. ArrayList params = new ArrayList();
9. int indx = 0;
10.
11. params.add(indx++, state);
12. int types[] = new int[params.size()];
13. for (int i=0; i<params.size(); i++)
14. types[i]=Types.VARCHAR;
15.
16. List list = getJdbcTemplate().query(sql, params.toArray(new Object[params.size()]), types, new TypeRowMapper());
17. logger.debug("Category/Type length: " + list.size());
18. return list;
19. }

Just a thought, but maybe once you have your List, you could simply iterate through the list looking for the entry(ies) you dont want and delete the entry you dont want?
