Simon, No Javascript is used. All modifications to the Lists are done in the valueChangeListener components. I prefer to leave the JavaScript part to MyFaces components - that's what they are really good for.
The other part is a typo - since I took out the realy long Bean names from the original code. The strange thing is that if I don't change any of the select boxes it works. Select one of them and it doesn't pass through the validation phase. What I don't understand is that the first drop down box never receives a validation error. It's always the fields for the second and third ones.

You're not using javascript to change the value of the 2nd and 3rd menus into something that isn't in their associated options are you? Also: is this a typo (meyBean vs myBean)? <f:selectItems value="#{meyBean.field2List}" /> Cheers, Simon Reiner K.
