JSTL dropdown choose statement needs to select a session varable?
i want the drop down to select the value in the session varable but i dont know how?
the drop down:
<jsp:useBean id="skill" class="com.Database.Skill" scope="page">
</jsp:useBean>
<select name="SkillName">
<option> Please Select... </option>
<c:forEach var="s" items="${skill.skills}">
<c:when test="${s.skillname == sname}">
<option selected="selected" name="<c:out value="${s.skillname}"/> ">
<c:out value="${s.skillname}"/>
</option>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<option name="<c:out value="${s.skillname}"/> ">
<c:out value="${s.skillname}"/>
</option>
</c:otherwise>
</c:forEach>
</select>
the session varable:
session.setAttribute("sname", sname );
also for the same sort of thing i have another session varable which contains the full name (forename and surname as below:
String ename = request.getParameter("EmployeeName");
and the foreach loop reads in the surname and forename split up as you see below. again i want to select the name in the list which is in the session but im unsure how:
<jsp:useBean id="employee" class="com.Database.Employee" scope="page">
</jsp:useBean>
<select name="EmployeeName">
<option> Please Select... </option>
<c:forEach var="emp" items="${employee.employees}">
<option name="<c:out value="${emp.forename}"/> <c:out value="${emp.surname}"/>">
<c:out value="${emp.forename}"/> <c:out value="${emp.surname}"/>
</option>
</c:forEach>
</select>
