I want to display categoryId in the attribute "value" <html:option value="">. Can someone please help me how to do it. Here is the code.

<logic:present name="itemCategoryListBean" property="itemCategories">
<html:select name="itemCategoryListBean" property="itemCategories">
<logic:iterate name="itemCategoryListBean" property="itemCategories" id="categories">
<html:option value="">
<%--<bean:write name="categories" property="categoryId"/> --%>
<bean:write name="categories" property="categoryName"/>
</html:option>&nbsp;<br>
</logic:iterate>
</html:select>
</logic:present>

If JSP-EL is enabled then:

<html:select name="itemCategoryListBean" property="itemCategories">
<logic:iterate name="itemCategoryListBean" property="itemCategoriesSource" id="category">
<html:option value="${category.id}">${category.categoryName}
</html:option>&nbsp;<br>
</logic:iterate>
</html:select>

or with <%= %>
and <bean:write name="category" property="categoryName"/>
if not

Note logic:iterate takes all the possible walues from "itemCategoriesSource" not from the receiver for selected properties (field itemCategories of your itemCategoryListBean ).
That might be slightly different, it is hard to say without looking at your code, but I hope you got the idea.
