How to display the selected value along with other values in dropdown

[kerthi Joe]

Here is my code.

<table>
                                <thead>
                                  <tr>
                                    <th>ITEM</th>
                                    <th>Placement type</th>
                                   
                                  </tr>
                                </thead>
                                <tbody>  
                                  <tr>
                                 	 <c:forEach items="${finalList}" var="final">
			                        	<tr>
											<td> ${final.item} </td>
											<td>
												<select name="placementType" class="form-control" id="placement">
												 <option value="General">General</option>
												 <option value="Chipshooter">Chipshooter</option>
												 <option value="Thru-Hole">Thru-Hole</option>
												 <option value="Not Applicable">Not Applicable</option>
												</select>
											</td>
		                               </tr>
                       				</tr>
                                </tbody>  
                                </table>

FinalList will be,

finalList = {AAA, Chipshooter}, {BBB,General}, {CCC, Thru-Hole};

In the select dropdown I have to show all the values with the one from the 'finalList' as 'selected'.

First row should be AAA, And dropdown should display 'Chipshooter' value along with all the remaining values in the dropdown.

Any body there to answer my query?

I don't understand what you're trying to do. You're creating a dropdown for each item, what do you want to display in the dropdown?
