DropDown Menu error in Struts 2

[Dushyant Chhetri]

Hi All,

I am trying to create a dropdown menu on using struts2 .
I am implementing the UI on jsp with struts taglib.

Now I want to populate the data on the dropdown froma database.
For this I have used the following and created an arraylist

<s:form action="IssueItems">
 
<%Connection con=DBDriverConn.getConnection();
Statement st=con.createStatement();
ResultSet r1=st.executeQuery("select * from hardware_list ");
		%>
<%List<String> hardwarelist= new ArrayList<String>();
while(r1.next()){
	hardwarelist.add(r1.getString(1));}
%>

<%System.out.println("list size is "+hardwarelist.size());
for(int i= 0; i < (hardwarelist.size());i++){
	System.out.println("Item "+i+" "+hardwarelist.get(i));
}
%>
 
<h4>
	<s:select label="Select Hardware" 
		headerKey="-1" headerValue="Select Device" 
		list="hardwarelist"	
//commenetd		*Using this gives result   list="#{'1':'Jan', '2':'Feb', '3':'Mar', '4':'Apr'}" 
		name="selectedDevice"/>
</h4> 
 
<s:submit value="submit" name="submit" />
 
</s:form>

The action for the above submit form is

package com.model;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;

public class IssueItems extends ActionSupport{
	
	private String selectedDevice;
	
	public String execute() {
        return SUCCESS;
    }
	public String issue(){
		System.out.println("in issue method ");
		System.out.println("here "+getSelectedDevice());
		return new String("issued");
	}
	public String getSelectedDevice() {
		return selectedDevice;
	}
	public void setSelectedDevice(String selectedDevice) {
		this.selectedDevice = selectedDevice;
	}

}

However I am getting the following error

Oct 22, 2011 4:45:06 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
tag 'select', field 'list', name 'selectedDevice': The requested list key 'hardwarelist' could not be resolved as a collection/array/map/enumeration/iterator type. Example: people or people.{name} - [unknown location]
	at org.apache.struts2.components.Component.fieldError(Component.java:231)

Please suggest me where I am going wrong.

you must first delete the name attribute. and then check if you get some value in drop down then tell me
