struts problem: pulldown menu

hi all,
i'm just wondering if someone could help me with my struts pulldown menu problem.... i'm trying to convert my multibox to a pulldown menu... the user can only choose 1 driver...
thanks in advance!

- @


i have this multibox:

<logic:notEmpty name="processFilterFormBean" property="driverlist">
<logic:iterate name="processFilterFormBean" property="driverlist" id="driver">             
<tr>
      <td>
      <html:multibox name="driver" property="selecteddriverid">
            <bean:write name="driver" property="drivername"/>
      </html:multibox>
      <bean:write name="driver" property="drivername" />
      </td>
</tr>
</logic:iterate>
</logic:notEmpty>

that i want to make into a pulldown menu...


i've tried doing  the several <html:select>/<html:optionsCollection> tutorials i found online but i can't make it work and i would really appreciate your help guys...




---------------------------------------
here's what my struts-config.xml looks:
---------------------------------------

<action-mappings>
      <action path="/maintenance" type="com.webtest.resources.MaintenanceAction" name="processFilterFormBean" scope="request">
            <forward name="start" path = "/WEB-INF/pages/Maintenance.jsp"/>            
      </action>
</action-mappings>


<form-beans>
      <form-bean name="processFilterFormBean" type="com.webtest.resources.ProcessFilterFormBean">
      </form-bean>
</form-beans>      





---------------------------------------
here's my Form Bean:
---------------------------------------

public class ProcessFilterFormBean extends ActionForm {
      private Collection driverlist;
      private String[] selecteddriverid;

      private String driverid = "";
      private String drivername = "";



      // for driver list
      public void setDriverlist(Collection driverlist){
            this.driverlist = driverlist;            
      }

      public Collection getDriverlist(){
            return driverlist;
      }
      
      public String[] getSelecteddriverid(){
            return selecteddriverid;
      }
      
      public void setSelecteddriverid(String[] driverid){
            this.selecteddriverid = driverid;
      }      
      
      
      
      public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) {
            driverlist = new ArrayList();

      }

      public ActionErrors validate(
            ActionMapping mapping,
            HttpServletRequest request) {

            ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
            return errors;

      }

}




---------------------------------------
here's my action class:
---------------------------------------

public class MaintenanceAction extends Action {

      public ActionForward execute(
            ActionMapping mapping,
            ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request,
            HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {
                        
            ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
            ActionForward forward = new ActionForward();

            ProcessFilterFormBean pfbean = (ProcessFilterFormBean) form;

            //call the DB
            SimulateDB simulateDB = new SimulateDB();
            pfbean.setDriverlist(simulateDB.getDriverlist(request.getSession()));            

            
            return (mapping.findForward("start"));

      }
}





---------------------------------------
here is my SimulateDB:
---------------------------------------
public class SimulateDB {

    private String drivername;
      private Collection dlist;
      private String result;

    private void init(HttpSession session) {
            
            //test data while DB is not  yet ready
            dlist = new ArrayList();
            dlist.add(new Driver("CCMP",  "Suspense",                   false));
            dlist.add(new Driver("EXALL", "Exclusion Indicator",             false));
            dlist.add(new Driver("EXSUB", "Exclusion Subscriber",             false));
            dlist.add(new Driver("MAIL",  "Mail to Option",             false));
            dlist.add(new Driver("PTD",   "Paid to Date",                   false));
            dlist.add(new Driver("SUSP",  "Suspense Days",                   false));
            dlist.add(new Driver("TERM",  "Termination Days",             false));            
            dlist.add(new Driver("OTHER", "Other",                         false));            
            session.setAttribute("driverDB", dlist);
            
            //another set..trying LabelValueBean
            ArrayList dlist2 = new ArrayList();
      
            dlist2.add(new org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean("CCMP",  "Suspense"));
            dlist2.add(new org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean("EXALL", "Exclusion Indicator"));
            dlist2.add(new org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean("EXSUB", "Exclusion Subscriber"));            
            dlist2.add(new org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean("MAIL",  "Mail to Option"));            
            dlist2.add(new org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean("PTD",   "Paid to Date"));
            dlist2.add(new org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean("SUSP",  "Suspense Days"));
            dlist2.add(new org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean("TERM",  "Termination Days"));            
            dlist2.add(new org.apache.struts.util.LabelValueBean("OTHER", "Other"));
            session.setAttribute("fulfillment_drivers", dlist2);

    }

   
    private void loadData(HttpSession session) {
           dlist = (Collection) session.getAttribute("driverDB");
        if (dlist == null || elist == null)
            init(session);
    }

    public String getDrivername(HttpSession session) {
        loadData(session);
        return drivername;

    }
          
   public void loadDriverlist(HttpSession session){
      //put them in our session
      dlist = (Collection) session.getAttribute("driverDB");
      if (dlist == null)
            init(session);
   }
   public Collection getDriverlist(HttpSession session) {
      loadDriverlist(session);
      return dlist;
   }      
      
}

---------------------------------------
here's my Driver class:
---------------------------------------

public class Driver {
      
      private String driverid = "";
      private String[] selecteddriverid;
      private String drivername = "";

      
      public Driver(){}
      
      public Driver(String driverid, String drivername, boolean checked){
            this.driverid = driverid;
            this.drivername = drivername;
      }
      
      public void setDriverid(String driverid){
      this.driverid = driverid;
      }
      public String getDriverid(){
            return driverid;
      }      
            
      public String[] getSelecteddriverid(){
            return selecteddriverid;
      }
      
      public void setSelecteddriverid(String[] driverid){
            this.selecteddriverid = driverid;
      }
      
      public void setDrivername(String drivername){
            this.drivername = drivername;
      }      

      public String getDrivername(){
            return drivername;
      }
