Use <form:select> tag with a map

Question

Is there a way to map the data inside a map to tag? I have a map Map in my code. Is there a way to map the option labels to the St

Answer 1

The tag supports what you want right out of the box, using the items attribute. You can do something like this:

LinkedHashMap states = new LinkedHashMap();
states.put(1, "Alabama");
states.put(2, "Alaska");
states.put(3, "Arizona");
states.put(4, "Arkansas");
states.put(5, "California");

And so on. Then in your form:

That will be rendered to something like:

    Alabama
    Alaska
    Arizona
    Arkansas
    California
