JSP page "selectbox.jsp" is getting data in following way
<% List data= (List) request.getAttribute("data");
Full code of JSP page is given as below:
2. selectbox.jsp
<%@ page language="java" import="java.util.*"%>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function change()
{

document.getElementById('textvalue').value=answer;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Use of Select Box in JSP</h1>
<table border="1" width="41%" height="53" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="3"
bgcolor="#000080"
bordercolorlight="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td width="100%" height="18" colspan="2"><b>
<font color="#FF00FF">Select items from select
box</font></b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="17%" height="23">
<select name="ActionSelect" onChange="change()" id="selc" >
<%Iterator itr;%>
<% List data= (List)request.getAttribute("data");
for (itr=data.iterator(); itr.hasNext(); )
{
String value=(String)itr.next();
%>
<option value=<%=value%>><%=value%></option>
<%}%>
</select>
</td>
<td width="83%" height="23"><input type="text" id="textvalue" />
</td>

For servlet to run and execute we have to do servlet entry
into "web.xml"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<web-app>
<display-name>Welcome to Tomcat</display-name>
<description>Welcome to Tomcat</description>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>DataServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>DataServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>DataServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/DataServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
