I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "persist". If you mean persist to a
java class, the answer is yes, there is a solution. By simply using the <html:select> and <html:options> tags,
Struts automatically persists the values entered into the ActionForm bean when the form is submitted.
If you mean persist to a database, the answer is no, there is no solution using tags only. Struts is an MVC framwork, and putting logic to access a database in a
JSP breaks the MVC model. The Struts way to persist data to a database is to include that logic in the "model" portion of your application and then have your Action class send messages to your model classes to persist data.
