In this section, we are going to describe the select tag. The select tag is a UI tag that is used to render an HTML input tag of type select.
Add the following code snippet into the struts.xml file.
struts.xml
Create an action class with a list populated with various items as shown below:
weekDay.java
Create a jsp using the tag that creates an HTML input tag of type select. This tag contains various parameters:
The label parameter sets the label expression used for rendering an element specific label. In our 1st case we have set it to "Select Day"
The name parameter sets the name for the element. In our 1st case we have set it to "daysname"
The headerKey sets key for first item in list. It must not be empty and wrongly specified.
In both cases we have set it to:"1" The headerValue sets the Value expression for the first item in the list. In both cases we have set it to:"--- Please Select ---"
