Hi,

I wrote a simple screen with 2 html:selects [fromList, toList] and 2 buttons
Add & Remove
using html:optionscollection tag and now need to rework the code using
"html:options collection="

<html:select property='selectedFromIds' multiple="true">
    <html:*optionsCollection* property='fromList'/>
</html:select>


to something like [that is a piece of my existing application which I have
to follow]:
<html:select property="submissionType" multiple="true"
styleId="submissionTypeID">
  <html:*options* collection="SubmissionType" property="submissionTypeID"
labelProperty="submissionType" />
</html:select>
where the only related thing I have declared in the Form is:
public String submissionType[];

   SubmissionType is a Class SubmissionType:
public class SubmissionType  {
   private String submissionType;
   private String submissionTypeID;
    ... getters & setters
    }

I tried directly:
<html:select property='selectedFromIds' multiple="true">
    <html:*options Collection=*'fromList'/>
</html:select>

So how do I convert the tags and probably the Java code as well ?

HTTP error:500  JspException: Cannot find bean under name fromList,
although have     List fromList = form.getFromList();

The original sample code is below:

Action:
public class StrutsAction2 extends DispatchAction {

    public ActionForward init(ActionMapping actionMapping, ActionForm
actionForm, HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse
httpServletResponse) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("In Init");
        ControlForm form = (ControlForm)actionForm;
        List fromList = form.getFromList();
        fromList.clear();
        fromList.add(new LabelValueBean("v1", "k1"));
        fromList.add(new LabelValueBean("v2", "k2"));
        fromList.add(new LabelValueBean("v3", "k3"));

        return actionMapping.findForward("init");
    }


    public ActionForward add(ActionMapping actionMapping, ActionForm
actionForm, HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse
httpServletResponse) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("In Add");
        ControlForm form = (ControlForm)actionForm;

        List fromList = form.getFromList();
        List toList = form.getToList();

        String[] selectedFromIds = form.getSelectedFromIds();

        for(int i=0; i < selectedFromIds.length; i++) {
            String id = selectedFromIds[i];

            Iterator iterator = fromList.iterator();

            boolean ok = false;
            while(iterator.hasNext() && !ok) {
                LabelValueBean lvb = (LabelValueBean)iterator.next();

                if(lvb.getValue().equalsIgnoreCase(id)) {
                    if(!toList.contains(lvb)) {
                      toList.add(lvb);
                    }
                    ok = true;
                }
            }
        }
        return actionMapping.findForward("add");
    }


    public ActionForward remove(ActionMapping actionMapping, ActionForm
actionForm, HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse
httpServletResponse) throws Exception {
        System.out.println("In Remove");

        ControlForm form = (ControlForm)actionForm;

    List toList = form.getToList();

        String[] selectedToIds = form.getSelectedToIds();

        for(int i=0; i < selectedToIds.length; i++) {
            String id = selectedToIds[i];

            Iterator iterator = toList.iterator();

            boolean ok = false;
            while(iterator.hasNext() && !ok) {
                LabelValueBean lvb = (LabelValueBean)iterator.next();

                if(lvb.getValue().equalsIgnoreCase(id)) {
                    iterator.remove();
                    ok = true;
                }
            }
        }
        return actionMapping.findForward("remove");
    }
}


Form:
public class ControlForm extends ActionForm {
    private String[] selectedFromIds;
    private String[] selectedToIds;
    private List fromList = new ArrayList();
    private List toList = new ArrayList();
... getters/setters
}
