Dear experts

1) I have this in my jsp

<html:select property="abc" multiple="multiple"/>
Values in this field are populated on page load which are coming from the database.

2) I have this in my form bean

<form-bean name="Form" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm" dynamic="true">
<form-property name="abc" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>

My requirment: I am selecting multiple values in my above <html:select> field
and i want to store all the values in an Array / ArrayList in my action class.

any ideas how i can approach on this
thanks

fargo

you can use String[] for form property

<form-property name="abc" type="java.lang.String[]"/>

Krule

You can also set it to an ArrayList

<form property name="abc" type="java.util.ArrayList">

public ActionForward getArrayValues(ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)

DynaValidatorForm f = (DynaValidatorForm) form;

f.???? //What do i do here to get all the values which user selected in the <html:select property="selectedvalues" multiple="multiple" width="40"> ?
