title: Populate dropdown in Jtable with Jquery
body: <p>I have a jsp page <strong>material.jsp</strong> with following code snippet : </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
      $(document).ready(function() {
          $('#MaterialTableContainer').jtable({
              title : 'Table of Materials',
              actions : {
                  listAction : 'CRUDControllerForMaterial?action=list',
                  createAction : 'CRUDControllerForMaterial?action=create',
                  updateAction : 'CRUDControllerForMaterial?action=update',
                  deleteAction : 'CRUDControllerForMaterial?action=delete' },
              fields : {  
                  id : {
                      title : 'ID',
                      key : true,
                      list : true,
                      create : true
                  },
                  materialName : {
                      title : 'MaterialName',
                      width : '30%',
                      edit : true
                  },
                  description : {
                      title : 'Description',
                      width : '30%',
                      edit : true
                  },
                  lastModifiedComments : {
                      title : 'LastModifiedComments',
                      width : '20%',
                      edit : true
                  },
                  materialClassID : {
                      title : 'MaterialClassID',
                      width : '50%',
                      edit : true,
                      options : ["1","2","3","4","5"]
                  },
                  isMaster : {
                      title : 'IsMaster',
                      width : '50%',
                      edit : true
                  }
  
          }});
          $('#MaterialTableContainer').jtable('load');
      });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, in this, I want <strong>materialClassID</strong> to be a dropdown. So, in <strong>options</strong>, I have hard-coded values as <strong>["1","2","3","4","5"]</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>But, these <strong>values are to be dynamic</strong>, i.e., these values should be fetched from the server (servlet) at runtime. So, how can I make a call to a function at this point, and retrieve the list/result-set.</p>
  
  <p><strong>We are using servlet-jsp, so I would need to write the code in Java.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Any suggestion would be of great help.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
