setting scope of variable in Struts2

[gobburi saikrishna]

Hello All

can i set scope=session in struts.xml in Struts2....

i have a variable which is set to session in action class

and i want to refer that variable in my jsp as session scope in my struts tag

example
i have a variable say parties in my action class which is list and it is set as session scope

session.setAttribute("parties", parties);


in my Jsp
iam using struts tag, get this in session scope.

like : <td > * <s:label for="partyField" id="partyLabel" value="%{getText('party')}" /></td>
<td > <s:select name="party" id="party" list="parties" listKey="id" listValue="name"></s:select> </td>
</tr>

iam getting error:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: tag 'select', field 'list', name 'party': The requested list key 'parties' could not be resolved as a collection/array/map/enumeration/iterator type. Example: people or people.{name} - [unknown location]

please anyone try to reslove this


Thanks
Saikrishna

But if you're always setting the same list in session I'm not sure what you're accomplishing over making it an action property.
