html:option + jstl

Hi

I have the dropdown list, i want to use EL to show which value is selected dynamically. how can I i achieve this

<html:select property="msgCd" styleClass="inputbox">

<html:options collection="messageTypeCdList" property="dataElementValueCode" labelProperty="valueCodeValueNameString"/>

</html:select>

something like....

<html:options collection="messageTypeCdList" value="${benefitVO.msgCd}" property="dataElementValueCode" labelProperty="valueCodeValueNameString"/>

so that the appropriate value is selected from the VO which comes from DB instead of defaulting to the first selection.

but I checked the tag dosent support value attribute.

any ideas...

thanks
