Use html:optionsCollection to retrieve the values from the backing bean.

<html:select property="selectedCounty">

<html:option value="" />

<html:optionsCollection property="countiesList" />

</html:select>

Where 'countiesList' is a collection type variable in the backing bean with getters and setters.

In your form object for the page add a

private List counties;

with a getter and setter.

Then, in your Action class create a Vector full of LabelValueBean objects (you should have them as part of your struts application) and set the Vector into you form.

Then, on you page do

<html:select name="country" property="selectedCounty">

<html:optionsCollection property="counties" />

</html:select>

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: No getter method available for property selectedCounty for bean under name org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN

That clearly implies that you don't have a form bean property for 'selectedCounty'. Define a variable 'selectedCounty' in your backing bean and generate getters and setters for the same and check it out.

private String selectedCounty;

//Getter and Setter

Thanks for responding.

Let me show you my code:

In Jsp :<html:select property="selectedCounty">

<html:option value="Alleghany" />

<html:option value="Ashe" />

<html:option value="Pasquotank" />

<html:option value="Peraquimmons" />

<html:option value="Wake" />

<html:option value="Wayne" />

<html:optionsCollection property="countiesList" />

</html:select>

In ActionForm:

public String[] getSelectedCounty() {

return selectedCounty;

}

/**

* @param selectedCounty The selectedCounty to set.

public void setSelectedCounty(String[] selectedCounty) {

this.selectedCounty = selectedCounty;

}

/**

* @return Returns the county.

public List getCountiesList() {

return countiesList;

}

/**

* @param county The county to set.

public void setCountiesList(List countiesList) {

this.countiesList = countiesList;

}

I am new to struts. I dont know how to fix this. I have hardcoded the list in the jsp. and wanted to create a form bean.
