Stripes Tag Library
Tag options-collection

Writes a set of <option value="foo">bar</option> tags to the page based on the contents of a Collection. Each element in the collection is represented by a single option tag on the page. Uses the label and value attributes on the tag to name the properties of the objects in the Collection that should be used to generate the body of the HTML option tag and the value attribute of the HTML option tag respectively. If either (or both) of the label or value properties are ommitted the item itself will be used for the label/value instead - this is done to support collections of simple types like Strings and Numbers.

E.g. a tag declaration that looks like:

<stripes:options-collection collection="${cats}" value="catId" label="name"/>

would cause the container to look for a Collection called "cats" across the various JSP scopes and set it on the tag. The tag would then proceed to iterate through that collection calling getCatId() and getName() on each cat to produce HTML option tags.

All other attributes on the tag (other than collection, value and label) are passed directly through to the stripes:option tag which is used to generate the individual HTML options tags. As a result the stripes:options-collection will exhibit the same re-population/selection behaviour as the regular options tag.

Since the tag has no use for one it does not allow a body.
