Mad Java

Hello all! I'm having a problem with Struts 2 using select and enum

Lets say I have an Enum:

public enum Gender{ MALE (0,"Male"), FEMALE (1, "Female"); private String gender; private Integer id; //some code ommited }

I want to populate an select with it, but I can't do it! So please help! I'll post what I'm trying:

- The request Action

public void RequestAction { public Gender[] getGenderList {return Gender.values()} //more code ommited }

- The JSP

<s:select name="gender" headerKey="-1" headerValue="" listKey="id" listValue="gender" list="genderList" label="Gender"/>

- The result Action:

public void ResultAction { public void setGender (Gender g) { this.gender = g; } }

Ok, so this doesn't work because the select is returning the id as string, so I made a bad code:


public void ResultAction { public void setGender (String id) { this.gender = Gender.values()[Integer.parseInt (id)]; } }

Well, this works with one enum, but in another enum in the same class it doesn't work anymore (don't ask me why).

Anyone has a better, good idea, how to use enums with select on Struts 2?!?! =(
