<form:options tag

Hi,

Can't seem to find any docs on how to use the <form:options tag completely. I found the following, which is ok for the HTML, what what exactly does the 'code' and the 'name' correspond to?
I guess this is something in the 'countryList'. Would 'countryList' be a list of objects called country containing attributes of 'code' and 'name'? I need to find out how to define the java code to interact with this.

<tr>
<td>Country:</td>
<td>
<form:select path="country">
<form:option value="-" label="--Please Select"/>
<form:options items="${countryList}" itemValue="code" itemLabel="name"/>
</form:select>
</td>
<td></td>
</tr>

Thanks,
Nick..

Right, "code" and "name" correspond to properties on objects in the Collection represented by the JSTL expression "${countryList}". "countryList" would usually be a named element that you put into your Model in your controller (most likely referenceData method, for *FormControllers). path=country on the form:select corresponds to the "country" property on the command object (or whatever path you bound in your form:form tag). Hope that helps?

Yeah, that works well. Thanks.
