How to pre-select a select list?

[hellriserchet]

Hi everybody,

I have a form for updating the user information in my application. This form is loaded when I click on an "update" link in my user information table.

The update form includes: username, password, and email fields, followed by a drop-down list of available user groups that the user can be part of (this list is dynamically generated from a table in DB). I easily pre-populate the text fields like this:

<html:text property="name" name="editinguser"/>

where "editinguser" is the name of the bean containing the user object information, stored in the session.

My problem is that I don't know how to pre-select the related user group in the combo-box. At present my code is:

<html:select property="groupid">
  <html:options collection="allUserGroups" property="groupid" labelProperty="groupname" />
  </html:select>

where allUserGroups is the collection containing the group objects. Now how can I make the groupid of "editinguser" be selected in allUserGroups combo-box?

TIA.

Hi,

are you using struts1 ? This looks something strange to me.

Just use
<s:select name="role"
~                        list="availableRoles"                            
~                        cssClass="input"/>      

If you have getter and setter vor role (getRole()/setRole()) in your
action class,
struts will populate (and select the proper entry) for you.

Hi Volker,

I'm actually new to struts. I use struts 2 package but all my learning resources including "struts for dummies" talk about struts 1, and I don't know how can I use the new tags, that's why I use these struts 1 tags!

How this problem is solved in struts 1? I hope I would not be forced to redesign all my work that's been done in struts 1.

Thanks.

What do you mean by 'I uuse struts 2 package...'? The Struts1 tags don't
work in Struts2 directly, so you may need to explain your setup in more
detail to resolve specific issues.

That said, to answer the original question: have you tried using the
same technique you did with the html:text tag? I.e. using both name and
property attributes in the html:select tag? The should, I think, give
you what you want.
