Spring MVC: Display correct value in select drop-down list

Question

My JSP snippet is as follows:

<form:select path="rules[${counter.index}].assignedTo.assignedToName">
    <form:options items="${assignmentRulesForm.assignedToList}"
                  itemLabel="assignedToName"
                  itemValue="assignedToName"/>
</form:select>

The assignedTo property refers to this object:

public class AssignmentDTO {
    private String assignedToName;
    // No other members

assignedToList then is a List<AssignmentDTO>

Really, what I want to happen is for the drop-down to contain all entries in the assignedToList, but to select the value associated with rule[i].assignedto.assignedToName

Presently, what I am seeing is that it does not perform the selection part, and the first item in the drop-down is displayed.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

This should work for you, the path is not the name but the assignedTo:

<form:select path="rules[${counter.index}].assignedTo">
    <form:options items="${assignmentRulesForm.assignedToList}"
                  itemLabel="assignedToName"
                  itemValue="assignedToName"/>
</form:select>

If you have implemented a .equals for your assignedTo, it should just work.
