I am using JSTL to get populate the book list to select box.

In my action class i am setting selected book name to session on submitting the form. My success page of the action is also the same input page. So I am expecting the selected book name to be selected in the drop box.


so i added the line to option tag.


But the value is not selected as expected. Please let me know if I am making any thing wrong here.

Did you look at the generated HTML to see if it was correct?

But you're not the one who needs to do the checking. The first step the OP should take is to check the generated HTML.

Thanks Bhoomika.

@Bear- I checked the generated HTML. As the value was getting printed when not placed inside the option tag, i was confused about the syntax usage. Any ways thanks for all help.
