How to show composite string for listValue attribute in select tag in Struts2 without using iterator

[Saikat Podder]

Hello Friends,
I am new to Struts 2 & I need your little help to clear a confusion,
I want to display a Dropdown menu for Plans/Packages from a list of Plan object(List<Plan>). The plan class has fields like id, name, price etc.
so the code for the dropdown menu would be:

<s:select list="plans" label="Select Plan" name="plan.id" listKey="id" listValue="name" value="customer.plan.id" />

But this only shows only the name of the plan(like "basic", "intermediate" etc.) in the menu, & I want to show some additional info besides the name like "basic : 5$/month", "intermediate : 10$/month" etc.) for that I need to use the price field of the Plan class also in the listValue expression.

I have tried several expressions like listValue="name : price $/month" or listValue="%{name} %{price} $/month" but none of the works.

So for now the only thing working for me is the normal html tag within an iterator.

So is it really not possibly to display composite string as the value of listValue attribute of the select tag? or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance
Saikat

Use

 listValue="%{name + ' : ' +  price + ' $/month'}"

Thank you Sonny,
It worked wonderfully
But apparently the same expression does not work for all types of attributes.

Hello,

I have a more complex problem on the same topic.
I would like to do the

  listValue="%{name}  

stuff, but 'name' would be dynamically generated to include country code.

Someone know how I can do that ?

I tried

  listValue="%{name + user.language}   

but it does not work, just print nameEN several times in the select

Thanks
