html:select - selected list is empty

[bala gi]

Hi, I need to populate an arraylist to one list box.
In Action class, I am not able to get the selected items in the 'available' list. Please advice. Thanks!
JSP:

<html:select styleId="availableEmployees" styleClass="dataSelectField" name="DateForm" property="available"
				 multiple="true" style="width: 380px; height: 140px">  
				<logic:present name="DateForm" property="empList">   
				<logic:iterate name="DateForm" id="listEntry" property="empList">
					<option value="<bean:write name="listEntry" property="logId"/>">
					<bean:write name="listEntry" property="employee"/></option>
					</logic:iterate>
					</logic:present></html:select>

Form:

public class PrescriptionDateForm extends ActionForm{
	private List<PrescriptionForm> empList;
	private String[] available;
	private String[] selected;

	public String[] getSelected() {
		return selected;
	}
	public void setSelected(String[] selected) {
		this.selected = selected;
	}
	public String[] getAvailable() {
		return available;
	}
	public void setAvailable(String[] available) {
		this.available = available;
	}
	public void setEmpList(List<PrescriptionForm> empList) {
		this.empList = empList;
	}
	public List<PrescriptionForm> getEmpList() {
		return empList;
	}
};

PrescriptionForm:

public class PrescriptionForm extends ActionForm{

	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
	private String logId;
	private String employee;
	PrescriptionForm(){
	}
	PrescriptionForm(String key,String value){
		this.logId=key;
		this.employee=value;
	}
	public String getLogId() {
		return logId;
	}
	public void setLogId(String logId) {
		this.logId = logId;
	}
	public String getEmployee() {
		return employee;
	}
	public void setEmployee(String employee) {
		this.employee = employee;
	}
}

Action:

public ActionForward getEmployeeList(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm  form,
            HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {
		List<PrescriptionForm> availableEmployees = new ArrayList<PrescriptionForm>();
		availableEmployees.add(new PrescriptionForm("1", "Apple"));
		availableEmployees.add(new PrescriptionForm("2", "Mango"));
		availableEmployees.add(new PrescriptionForm("3", "Grapes"));
		dateForm.setEmpList(availableEmployees);
       return mapping.findForward("employeeLst");
        
    }

Struts-config:

<action path="/GenerateEmpList" parameter="method" type="com.mmm.pmp.web.controller.RerunFileController"
         name= "DateForm" input="/jsp/rerunReport.jsp" scope="request">
          <forward name="employeeLst" path="rerunReport"/>
        </action>

Hi Bala,

Have you looked into the Struts FAQs for indexed properties?
