I am developing a web application. I have a java class which has array of type String. In the same package, I have .jsp page which handles UI. I want to show contents of java String array into jsp's select tag.
<select>
<option>_____</option>
</select>
How do I populate this select box with Java String array?
Iterate over the loop with for-each loop.
With Expression Language,It looks like,
<select name="item">
<c:forEach items="${itemsArray}" var="eachItem">
<option value="${eachItem}">${eachItem}></option>
</c:forEach>
</select>
you can use <c:foREach> tag .
<select>
<c:forEach var="option" items="${requestScope.array}">
<option>${option}</option>
</c:forEach>
</select>
Here is sample code
array from your servlet.Use JSTL in JSP and the code will be much cleaner:
<html:select property="yourPropName">
<html:options name="yourDataList" />
</html:select>
Have you tried with POJO class. and access it from jsp like below.
<select>
<% String[] pojoObj= (String)request.getAttribute("data");
for (String str: pojoObj ){
%>
<option><%=str%></option>
<%}%>
</select>
read the elements of the array in a loop and then print it inside the loop
<select>
<%
for(int i=0; i<arr.size(); i++){
<option value="<%= arr[i]%>"><%= arr[i]%></option>
}
%>
</select>
