Displaying list from the content returned by controller

Bear Bibeault wrote:Your HTML for the select element looks fine at initial inspection. What problem are you having with it?

Bear Bibeault wrote:I revised my post. You'd need to loop through your list and create an option element for each choice.

Bear Bibeault wrote:That depends on what tag library you are using. It will likely have tags for looping over a list or array of data.

Bear Bibeault wrote:Then you would use <c:forEach> to iterate over your data.

Mike Simmons wrote:Does the class CleanupFileWrapper have a method like getFileName()?  Can you show the declaration of the field you're attempting to access, and its getter?

Mike Simmons wrote:The error message suggests that the thing you're calling a "cleanupFile" is actually a CleanupFileWrapper.  And from your code, CleanupFileWrapper has a property named cleanupFile, not cleanupFileId.  And what you really want is the fileName inside the CleanupFile which is inside the CleanupFileWrapper.  So I think you need something like this:
<select name="pendinglist">   <c:forEach items="${pendinglist}" var="cleanupFileWrapper">       <option value="${cleanupFileWrapper.cleanupFile.fileName}"></option>   </c:forEach> </select>
