Indexed Property, html:select

Question

Hello,
Dev. Env. : JSP/Struts - Indexed Properties
<c:forEach var="lines" items="${MbrLines.map.lines}">
<td>
<html:select name="lines" indexed="true" property="loc" >
<%
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
DBAccess dba = new DBAccess();
sb = dba.fillDropdown("ALLLOC",0,"");
out.println(sb);
%>
</html:select>
</td>
</c:forEach>
This is the code I have in a JSP used for edits. I fill the dropdown with all available locations(e.g. Chicago, Miami etc) from a database table.
How do I set the current value in the record to be edited, say "Chicago", to be "selected" in the dropdown? Or, is there a way to pass the property�s current value to the DB method ?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

the HTML generated as folllows:
as you may see, the bean has been interpreted to array, which I have correspondent set method in form. Please check the code for form in my previous post.
If I radio button of any row, it sets all the rows. which looks very strange to me, because it shows to me that the beans has been seperated by using different names. as poDisplayVO[0] ; poDisplayVO[1] ; poDisplayVO[2.
