select - Render A Select Element

Renders an HTML <select> element, associated with a bean property specified by our attributes. This tag is only valid when nested inside a form tag body.

This tag operates in two modes, depending upon the state of the multiple attribute, which affects the data type of the associated property you should use:

WARNING: In order to correctly recognize cases where no selection at all is made, the ActionForm bean associated with this form must include a statement resetting the scalar property to a default value (if multiple is not set), or the array property to zero length (if multiple is set) in the reset() method.
