Unfortunately I cannot post any code at the moment because I'm working on a different machine.
In any case, this is the situation:
I have a very simple object News that contains several properties like Title, Text, etc...
In the actionbean that forward to the form to edit the news I create a List of NewsCategories, that is used in the
jsp to populate the select field.
This field is used to move the News I'm editing to a different News Category. Obviously the News I'm editing is already related with a category (this information is stored in the newsCat property of the News object).
I would like that if the current News is child of the NewsCat with Id 2, the same value is marked as selected in the select form field.
Am I working in the wrong way for some reason?
Thanks,
