Default selection using Struts html:select tag

[Lucas White]

Hi

I'm trying to default a combo box to select a default value when my
web page loads. The following code selects the index from the
indexList with index id 27 because I hard-coded it:

<html:select property="primaryIndexId" name="group" value="27">
<htmlption value="-1">&nbsp;</htmlption>
<htmlptions collection="indexList" property="indexId"
labelProperty="indexDesc" />
</html:select>

But when I try to soft code it to display the group's primary index,
it does not work:

<html:select property="primaryIndexId" name="group"
value="primaryIndex.indexId">
<htmlption value="-1">&nbsp;</htmlption>
<htmlptions collection="indexList" property="indexId"
labelProperty="indexDesc" />
</html:select>

Any help would be appreciated.

you need not to code like that
<html:select property="primaryIndexId" name="group"
value="primaryIndex.indexId">
<htmlption value="-1">&nbsp;</htmlption>
<htmlptions collection="indexList" property="indexId"
labelProperty="indexDesc" />
</html:select>

you simple only need to do is to set the property "primaryIndexId" in the
actionform to what you want it to be in the action servlet
