JSP combobox problem

lippy88

I am working on my FYP and i need to create new jobs that will be added to the database.At the moment i am trying to populate the combobox with skills from the database.My problem is with the following JSP code is that the combobox is diplayed on the page but no skills are in the dropdown??% Also there is a textfield appearing above the combobox that i have not asked to display.Thanks

JSP:

<s:form action="createJobs">
<s:textfield name="jobName" label="Job Name" />
<s:textfield name="startDate" label="Start Date"/>
<s:textfield name="endDate" label="End Date" />
<s:textfield name="salary" label="Salary" />
<s:textfield name="description" label="Description" />
<s:combobox label="Skill" name="skillName" list="skills"/>
<s:submit />
</s:form>




session.put("skillName", getSkillName());
session.put("skills", this.skills);
this.skillsQuery();//populate skillsSet
this.skills = new ArrayList<Skill>();

System.out.println("before");
Collections.sort(skills);
System.out.println("after");
session.put("skills", this.skills);
System.out.println(skills.size());
