[Achyut Behera]

Hi All,

I have store the value in action class session scope.
I want to show that value in jsp drop down box.
I am using the following format.

<sLogic:iterate name="interCompanyRent" id="interCompany">
<TR>
<TD align="right"><layout:label>Rem Div:</layout:label></TD>
<TD>
<rem:select property="divisionId" value='<bean:write name="interCompany" property="divisionId"/>' onchange="retriveData(this.value)">
<html:option value="">-- Select Division --</html:option>
<html:options collection="all_division_list" property="id" labelProperty="label" />
</rem:select>
</TD>
</sLogic:iterate>

i am setting the value in the value attribute of rem:select tag.
but i am not able to set the vale.
In the loop i have adde two text box. That is working fine.

Can anybody tell me how to do that.

Thanks,
Achyut

i have checked that the value is empty means it is not able to retrive.
Can any body tell me how to set the value, if not this way any other way.

Thanks,

You can't nest custom tags like that. One solution would be to use the container's JSP EL if it's JSP 2+.

Can you please tell me, Using struts tag how i will set the value into drop down box.
Or Using EL how to set.

Please send me the code, so that i can do it.

Thanks,
Achyut

I'm not sure what a "rem:select" tag does. If it's your own custom tag, I can't help you.

However, the html:select tag will auomatically set the selected option to the value that you specify in the property attribute. So, all you have to do is set the ActionForm bean's property to the right value, and the correct option will be displayed. For more details, see question 3 of our FAQ.

you are correct. but i have used property name 'divisonId' as an array in formbean class.
I am using two select box having same property name.
That' why i am not able to set in the select box.
rem:select is same as html:select.

What i am doing is, i am storing the divisonId into a bean class. and add into a list and store into the session.
in the jsp page i am going to iterate.

problem is i am not able to set the value through iterarion into the select box.

Can you please help me out.

Thanks,

instead of that use logic:present

like

<html:select name="sform" property="course" styleId="course" >
<logic:present scope="session" name="alist" >
<html:options collection="alist" name="CourseForm"
labelName="c_name" property="c_name" labelProperty="c_name"/>
</logic:present>
</html:select>

try with above code . you can get the correct result

[David Newton]

To use EL you can either use a JSP 2+ container (any modern app server) or the HTML EL tags:

 <rem:select property="divisionId" value="${interCompany.divisionId}" onchange="retriveData(this.value)">

Please use code tags and disable HTML when posting code.

@rk: Your <html:select> tag doesn't include a "value" attribute, so cannot address the OP's question.

[Achyut Behera]

As per yours,
I have used EL tags. It is not coming.

Any other way to define.

Thanks,

If there's a bean stored under the "interCompany" key in app, session, request, or page scope, and it has a property called "divisionId" then either JSP EL or the EL tags will work: if it's not, then it's likely something else is wrong.

[Achyut Behera]

In my application i am not using JSP 2.x.

Is there any other way to set the value.

Thanks,

Use the HTML-EL tags.
