Hi all, am new to struts2.. am struggling to get the result for populating items from DB.
my requirement is to populate country, which is stored in DB, using struts2 and when u choose a particular country, another select box populate its cities, which also stored in DB.. at first i tried, fetching the list from java class instead of DB... since there is an example available in struts2-showcase-2.0.14,built in project of struts2. when i imported struts2-showcase-2.0.14 and tried that program the <s:select> is working.. so i thought to implement that into my project.. but unfortunately it is not working.. i will post here and please have a look and try providing the reason :) I paste here the example block of a program from struts2-showcase-2.0.14 : Portion of Jsp file contains the list Like : example.jsp <s:form action="exampleSubmit" > <s:select tooltip="Choose Your Favourite Language" label="Favourite Language" list="favouriteLanguages" name="favouriteLanguage" listKey="key" listValue="description" emptyOption="true" headerKey="None" headerValue="None"/> portion of java class file contains like the following: UITagExample.java package com.mobitail.action; // i pasted this since i mentioned this in struts.xml - u should not confuse :) public String execute() throws Exception { return SUCCESS; } //constructor public UITagExample() { favouriteLanguages.add(new Language("EnglishKey", "English Language")); favouriteLanguages.add(new Language("FrenchKey", "French Language")); favouriteLanguages.add(new Language("SpanishKey", "Spanish Language")); } public List getFavouriteLanguages() { return favouriteLanguages; } public void setFavouriteLanguage(String favouriteLanguage) { this.favouriteLanguage = favouriteLanguage; } public String getFavouriteLanguage() { return favouriteLanguage; } // === inner class public static class Language { String description; String key; public Language(String key, String description) { this.key = key; this.description = description; } public String getKey() { return key; } public String getDescription() { return description; } } portion of struts.xml <action name="exampleSubmit" class="com.mobitail.action.UITagExample" > <result>example.jsp</result> <result name="input">example.jsp</result> </action> when i execute http://localhost:8080/mobitail.com/example.jsp .. result is a blank page if example.jsp contains other tags like <s:textfield> with <s:select> , result is only a textfield .. select box is not shown... and in the Eclipse Ganymede output window, the error is like the following: SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception tag 'select', field 'list', name 'favouriteLanguage': The requested list key 'favouriteLanguages' could not be resolved as a collection/array/map/enumeration/iterator type.
