database and display on jsp screen,

I dn't want to use sql query tag to execute query in jsp,how to display in other way the country drop down?..

In your Action class, instantiate a dao class which has a method that returns an ArrayList of LabelValueBean (look at api) of value='value of dropdown' and label='label of dropdown' and place the ArrayList of LabelValueBean into you session attribute.

In your jsp, use <html:select> and <html:options> tag. In <html:options> tag, attribute property='value', labelProperty='label' and collections='name of session attribute'

like this:

Code :

---

<html:select property="tasks" styleId="tasks" style="width:500px;">
        <html:options collection="[I]name of session attribute[/I]" property="value" labelProperty="label"/>
</html:select>
