How to populate values inside a dropdown box

[Adarsh Raj]

I'm a beginner in struts. i want to know how to populate values inside a dropdown box(<html:select>).

I've already created the necessary action forms, action and model classes. I can retrieve values from the database and also i can see that the values present inside the form's action form. But i don't know how to show these values from the action form to a jsp page.

I'm using struts tag in jsp/view components. My code is like this

ActionForm

  
        private String[] filmYear;
        ......
	public String[] getFilmYear() {
		return filmYear;
	}

	public void setFilmYear(String[] filmYear) {
		this.filmYear = filmYear;
	}
  

Jsp code

   
		<html:select property="filmYear" >
                        i don't know what to fill up here
		</html:select>

I'm not very good at struts 1.x, so I can point you to what I think should be the solution. Try to use the html:optionsCollection tag inside the html:select tag...

You can try this

  <html:options name="form name given in the struts-config.xml inside action mapping" property="filmYear"/>
