Not All Items Appearing In Dropdown List

Question

Hi,
You have a newbie here. I am trying to populate a dropdown list in a JSP with the following code, but not all the records are being displayed (approximately 4900 records are displayed). The Submit button that follows this Select tag is not being displayed, nor are any error messages being encountered. The last Option tag is incomplete. Any clues?
Thanks,
Neil.
+{color:#0000ff}Vendor: <select name="gsdb">+
+<% String vGSDB = null;+
String vName = null;
String GSDB = null;
+if(request.getParameter("gsdb") == null){+
GSDB = "";
+}else{+
GSDB = request.getParameter("gsdb").toString().substring(0,5);
+}+
i = 0;
+while(i < vendorName.length) {+
+if (vendorName == null) {+
break;
+}+
vGSDB = vendorName.substring(0,5);
vName = vendorName.substring(6);
+if(vGSDB.equalsIgnoreCase(GSDB)) {+
out.println("<option value=\"" vGSDB + "\"selected>" + vName + " **" + vGSDB + "**</option>+

You have 4900+ records?? I'd say there was some exception being thrown somewhere, either you're running out of memory or something. Your response isn't coming completely which indicates that your output was interrupted but since it had been committed, the server couldn't redirect to an error page or display the exception or stack trace.
Check your logs, there'll definitely be something there.
