Ashish,
not sure if the following is what you are looking for. I am doing a
simple modifying the lookup table.
in my jsp
<bean:define id="adminModifyFormData"
name="<%=Constants.ADMIN_MODIFY_FORM%>" scope="session"
type="com.web.forms.AdminModifyForm"/>
<bean:define id="techAL"
name="<%=Constants.PAGE_ATTR_ADMIN_MODIFY_TECH_LIST%>"
scope="request"/>
<TABLE width="100%" >
<TR>
<TD align='right' class="dtllabel">Technique used Old Value</TD>
<TD class="dtlcontent">
<html:select name="<%=Constants.ADMIN_MODIFY_FORM%>" property="techUsed">
<html:options collection="techAL" property="techCd"
labelProperty="techDscr" />
</html:select>
</TD>
</TR>
name="<%=Constants.ADMIN_MODIFY_FORM%>" is the formbean that has
both the old value(drop down) and the new value(text box where user
enters the modified value) like given below...
public class AdminModifyForm extends ActionForm {
private String techUsed;
private String techUsedNew;
<html:options collection="techAL" property="techCd"
labelProperty="techDscr" /> where techAL is an arraylist of already
existing values in the lookup table. In the action class which
prepares/initializes(sort-of) the jsp for display, I am obtaining that
arraylist using DAO/helper classes. property="techCd"
labelProperty="techDscr" where labelProperty is what the user sees on
the page and property is what business logic uses as the key to that
object(equiv to value="" in html)
in my action class which prepares the jsp for display
ArrayList list1= new ArrayList();
list1 =helper.getAdminValuesTech(mapping,form,request,response,errors);
//set the option lists
session.setAttribute(Constants.PAGE_ATTR_ADMIN_MODIFY_TECH_LIST,list1);
request.setAttribute(Constants.PAGE_ATTR_ADMIN_MODIFY_TECH_LIST,list1);
in my action class which uses the value from the selection in the
combobox in jsp, i obtain them using getter methods of formbean
System.out.println("\ntechused"+adminModifyForm.getTechUsed());
System.out.println("\ntechusednew"+adminModifyForm.getTechUsedNew() );
hth,
Rosemary
