list box and multiple selections

[laxmiraghu]

I've a requirement where in user needs to select multiple items from a drop-down/list box and the back-end will process those selections.

Currently i'm displaying a select box and it allows only one selection.

How can i change this to meet the above requirement.

Please help.

Use the form:select tag and set its path attribute to a list:

<form:select path="countries" items="${countryList}"/>

The items attribute points to a list containing all countries, while the path points to a list on the command object containing currently selected ones.

You'll most likely want to specify what to use for the option value/label:

<form:select path="countries" items="${countryList}" 
    itemValue="code" itemLabel="name" />
