JSP: html:select using a hashmap

[Syed Mahdi]

Hi All,

i am a java developer but havent ahd the chance to work with struts and esp JSTL

I am getting an error of kind: No getter method for the bean under name...

My jSP is just rendered where there is a dropdown box That i need to be populated with a hash map that I have also passed to the request object and then called the action forward. so the action runs fine, hashmap is in the request and the forward worsk fine as the jsp is loaded but ONLY uptill this part where i access the Hasmap


mapOfAcquiredNames is a hashmap of <string,string> which is passed to in action class

   request.setAttribute("mapOfAcquiredNames",mapOfAcquiredNames);  

this is my JSP code:

  


<td>
<%--	
<logic:iterate id="element" name="mapOfAcquiredNames">
Next element is <bean:write name="element" property="value"/>
</logic:iterate>
--%>//Tried this block of coed as well

 		<html:select property="value">
		<html:options collection="mapOfAcquiredNames" property="key" labelProperty="value"/> // 
	 <%-- <html:optionsCollection name="mapOfAcquiredNames" label="key" value="value"/> //tried this
 		<html:optionsCollection property="mapOfAcquiredNames" label="key" value="value"/>//tried this
 	 --%>
</html:select>
			
		
	
		</td>

  

how do youa ccess a MAP in JSP. I am assuming that this will make the getValue() call to mapOfAcquiredNames

maybe i am totally wrong here, but why is it not getting to the getter of value.

Thanks for the help.

Please be sure to ask Struts questions in the Struts forum. I have moved this post there for you.

Thanks for moving it here. I just thought cos the problem is at the JSP end and not exactlty within the ramework. But yeah you can say things arent really getting from Action form and action class..
Thanks.. But i will appreciate answers as well.
