how to get the selected value from a drop down to action

[rahulJ james]

I have a list of values in a dropdoen box, I am using struts 2.0 and using the select tag as explained below,

<html:select cssClass="addProjectSelect" list="arrUserVOList" 
				listKey="objUserVO" name="strUserName" listValue="strUserName"
				value="%{arrUserVOList.{objUserVO}}">
			</html:select></td>    

Can anyone advise how to get the selected value to the action. I tried with a getter of strUserName but it is not working. Is there any other way?

Hi Rahul,

Im using the following method,

    
<html:select property="selectedcountry" size="8" styleClass="select">
                            <html:options collection="countrylist" labelProperty="country" property="country"/>
                            </html:select>

where 'selectedcountry' is one of the property in actionform..

-HTH

regards,
kishore

Why aren't you using the struts2 tag library (select tag ref) ?

He is--just using a very confusing and misleading taglib prefix.

What am I missing in my code, Can anyone advise. I am using the struts2 tag. I dont find property attribute for select tag.

Because you were using a confusing and misleading tag prefix, one responder assumed you were using Struts 1. Which version of Struts are you using? If you're using Struts 2, as your attributes imply, I'd *strongly* urge you to use the default taglib prefix to avoid confusion. Not to mention that the "html" prefix doesn't make any sense for S2, since there are many tags that don't emit any HTML markup.

You need a *setter* for the property--not a getter. OGNL can't use a getter to set a value.
