Solution

Struts2 select tag

<s:select label="Pets"
       name="petIds"
       list="petDao.pets"
       listKey="id"
       listValue="name"
       value="%{petDao.pets.{id}}"
/>

In the above. value = default selection, list = collection (of Map) coming from your action class, listKey = Key for map, listValue = value for map.

Edit (after looking at provided code):

your problem is that you do not have any getter in action class that corresponds with lstVehicles (which is mentioned in list property of your select tag)

Add this to your action class:

public List getLstVehicles ()
{
    return this.lstVehicles;
}
