Hi Ashish,



You will need to do something like this.







labelProperty="myLabel"/>





Notice that the select tag has a "myPreselectedItemBean" bean associated with it, this bean must be in some scope ie. session, request etc..



The same goes for the "myCollection" bean, this is a bit more complex. Took me a while to get my head around...



"myCollection" should be either be an Object extending java.util.Collection or an array of Objects. It can't be a simple type (eg. int[]).



"myCollection" should be made up of other beans, with a getMyValue() and getMyLabelProperty() method.


eg.



public class OptionItem

{

public OptionItem()

{

}



String myValue;

String myLabel;



public String getMyValue()

{

return myValue;

}



public void setMyValue(String myValue)

{

this.myValue = myValue;

}



public String getMyLabel()

{

return myLabel;

}



public void setMyLabel(String myLabel)

{

this.myLabel = myLabel;

}

}



I normally create a Vector and then populate it with these sort of beans.



I hope this is helpful to you.



cheers,
