both populated from data base dynamically.

<%@page import="java.sql.*"%>

<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
        <title>JSP Page</title>
    </head>
    <body>
       <select name="ctry">
  <% 
String city="";
Statement pstm;
ResultSet rs;
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection connect =DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@172.17.0.14:1521:develop","devuser","devuser");
pstm = connect.createStatement();
rs = pstm.executeQuery("select * from sam1");

while (rs.next()) { 
    city = rs.getString(1);
    %>

<option>
<%out.println(city); %> </option>
<%
}
rs.close();
pstm.close();
connect.close();
}
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println(ex);
}
%>
          
       </select>

       <select>
<%         
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection connect =DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@172.17.0.14:1521:develop","devuser","devuser");
pstm = connect.createStatement();
rs = pstm.executeQuery("select * from sam1 where cntry = '"+ city +"'");
while (rs.next()) { 
    city = rs.getString(2);
    %>

<option>
<%out.println(city); %> </option>
<%
}
rs.close();
pstm.close();
connect.close();
}
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println(ex);
}
%>
       </select>
    </body>
</html>

i have one, dont know if it is any better although as i am learning.


html dropdown box...

<p for="workArea">Work Area: 
			<select name="workArea" id="workArea"  property="workArea" style="overflow:hidden;maxheight:10px;">
			<% 	
			DataAccess dataAccess = new DataAccess();
			ArrayList workAreas = dataAccess.loadWorkAreas();;
			Iterator it = workAreas.iterator();
			String xx = null;
			while(it.hasNext()) { 
			 xx = (String) it.next(); %>
			<option  name="workArea" id="workArea" value="<%=xx%>"><%=xx%></option>
			<% } %>

and in the java method...

public ArrayList loadWorkAreas() {    	   

		boolean bln_result = true;

		conn_fandp = new conn();

		bln_result = conn_fandp.getConnection(jdbc_connection);		       

		if (bln_result == false)  {
			System.out.println("Connection to DCS FANDP schema failed.");
		}
		else {
			System.out.println("Connection to DCS FANDP succeded.");   
		}   

		ArrayList workAreas = new ArrayList();

		try {
			String sql ="select prod_workarea from fandp.prod_workarea";
			ResultSet rs = null;
			Connection curr_conn  = conn_fandp.current_connection;			 	    	

			rs = curr_conn.createStatement().executeQuery(sql);

			while ( rs.next()) {	

				workAreas.add(rs.getString("prod_workarea"));
			}  
			rs.close();
			curr_conn.close();
		}
		catch(Exception e) {

			System.out.println(e.getMessage());
		}
//		get an Iterator object for ArrayList using iterator() method.
		Iterator itr = workAreas.iterator();

//		use hasNext() and next() methods of Iterator to iterate through the elements.
		System.out.println("Iterating through ArrayList elements...");
		while(itr.hasNext()){
			System.out.println("Iterations:" + itr.next());
		}
		//System.out.println("bryn " + itr.hasNext());

		conn_fandp.current_connection = null;			     	
		conn_fandp = null;
		//for testing purposes...
		workAreas.add("Bryn21");
		workAreas.add("bjdfd");
		return workAreas;
	}
