How to use a drop-down box in Struts

[piterskiy74]

If anyone can help me how to show the List values in a drop-down box, that would be greate.

I have created a List in Action class and put it into request

ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
list.add("1");
list.add("2");

request.setAttribute("exsList", list);

And in JSP I have following:

<bean:define id="aList" name = "exsList" />

I just want to display these numbers in drop-down. What should I do next. Thank you

Hi ,
on jsp use this code

<html:select property="contact" >
<html: optionsCollection property="listOfContact" >
</html:select>

Now in ActionForm (bean which form is using)write setter and getter for String "contact" and List "listOfContact".

after in constuctor of ActionForm write logic=

public constuctorName() {
listOfContact=new ArrayList();
listOfContact.add(new LabelValueBean("1","Printing media"));
listOfContact.add(new LabelValueBean("2","Radio"));
listOfContact.add(new LabelValueBean("3","T.V."));


}

u have to import package:

import org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean;



when u run jsp list will come on page.
