I have a form that accepts values from a selectbox.I am storing its via a formBean field(a string array).And I am passing control from one page to another via actionclass.Using normal page generation in struts i was able to list all array elements using ordinary bean:write(created using Wizard).

I want a listbox in page2 to be populated with this array list.

I am not saving anything to array in actionClass
Just tried writing
----------------------
<html:select property="formBeanName">
<html

ptionsCollection="fieldNamefromFormBean"></html

ption>\
------------------------------------
But failed to generate any output.

How can I get a fine solution rather than adding those details to arraylist and initialising arrays to fill its values.

I just want to use formBean field that stores the Array and I should be able to correctly populate the listbox in page2.

What can I do to achieve this?

You lost me. Does your optionsCollection tag have a property attribute that you left off of your posted code? Are you saying that when the first page is submitted the list on your form gets populated?

I forgot to include the OptionsCollections property.
I achieved the same using an arrayList included in my action class.
Procedure followed:

Created a list and added list contents to session and used it.
And successfully populated the selection list.
<html:select name="formBean" property="check">
<html ptions name="myList"/>
</html:form>

Actually I populated my formBean chekField with a string array[].
My aim was to retrieve values and populate selection list i n another page.
But how can I directly populate selectionbox by specifying already populated check field.Where in this case I am filling an arrayList using elements i got from the formBean and adding this to session

But i dont want an array to be created and added to my session.
Any easy solution for this?
