how to fill a combobox with values from objects in an ArrayList...

Hello!

I know how i can fill a radiobutton if i have a ArrayList filled with Strings:

in my Action class i make the ArrayList, an fill it:

priority = new ArrayList();
priority.add("niedrig");
priority.add("mittel");
priority.add("hoch");

and in my JSP i use the command:

<s:radio label="Priorit�t" name="priority" list="priority" />

this generates automatically a radiobutton for each value in this ArrayList.

For my combobox its working aswell if i have Strings in the Array List.

But how can i access values of an Object in an ArrayList?

I have a ArrayList full of Category Objects. Now i would like to make a combobox with the CategoryDescription of each Object in the ArrayList.

Thanks for your help!

<html:select name="Category"
property="selectedCategoryDescription">
<html

ption value=""></html

ption>
<html

ptions name="Category"
property="categoryDescription"/>
</html:select>

Let me explain this:
--> drop down box/ combo box in struts should be inside <html:select> or
in your case <s:select>
--> after selecting you have to save that selected value,
Here I am saving into Category's property/attribute
selectedCategoryDescription(I assumed it).
(Please customize it according to your need)
--> <html

ption value=""></html

ption> is where you keep default value
at the top
eg: <html

ption value="">--</html

ption>
eg: <html

ption value="">Select category Description</html

ption>
--> <html

ptions name="Category"
property="categoryDescription"/>
Here you are showing all the categoryDescription attribute of Category

Note: If you are using struts then hopefully you will be working with form beans. So customize this accordingly using form bean in your jsp page.

Hope this helps,

Thank you!
