Hi all....I am trying to display a collection using the tag shown below. I keep getting..
"Cannot find bean under name org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN"
I have a collection attribute in the form which has bean objects in it.
Can anyone pls guide me as to what i am doing wrong.
<html:select property="attributeInForm">
<html

ptionsCollection property="collectionInForm"
label="collection's Bean's Attribute"
value="collection's Bean's Attribute" />
</html:select>
Thanks.

Hi,
This is the way i am doing
<bean

efine name="borrowerType" id="borrowerTypeList" scope="request"/>
<html:select property="borrowerType" onchange="JavaScript:getBorrowerCodes()" tabindex="1">
<html

ptions collection="borrowerTypeList" labelProperty="borrowerType"
property="borrowerType"/>
</html:select>
I have a list of data i set to request from the action class i am loading the jsp page as
request.setAttribute("borrowerType",borrowerTypeList);
First i am defining an object for the collection using the bean

efine . There whatever be the id we are giving it should match with the collection attribute of option .
Try like this
Hope this will help you

Hi Vinay,
<bean

efine name="borrowerType" id="borrowerTypeList" scope="request"/>
<html:select property="borrowerType" onchange="JavaScript:getBorrowerCodes()" tabindex="1">
<html

ptions collection="borrowerTypeList" labelProperty="borrowerType"
property="borrowerType"/>
</html:select>
I will explain how i am setting this.
Hope this will help you
Here in the bean define tag whatever i am giving as the ID it should match with the collection attribute of the html option tag. In the html: select the property attribute should match with the variable you have for that field in your formBean. And also the labelProperty and id of the options tag.
And please check the your code .(I afraid if your code is as you posted along with your question definitely it wont work )
Hope this time it will work

Is it possible to directly map form property as mentioned in above ex
<html:select property="attributeInForm">
<html

ptionsCollection property="collectionInForm"
label="collection's Bean's Attribute"
value="collection's Bean's Attribute" />
</html:select>
tried setting this property in action, but not being displayed in the jsp...
Any more changes needed?

Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
