Hi, I had the same problem and worked around it. Works just fine.
I had 2 drop-downs for country list and state list in an Employee Update page. I traversed to this page from the EmployeeMaster page which had a listing of all the employees in a company.. To come to this page I used "EditEmployeeAction" servlet and for Saving values "SaveEmployeeAction". when I change the country i should get the corresponding state list. I used "submit" to a ActionServlet which I was using for "Save" on change of country list drop-down. I got a different reference to the drop-down event (say: if(save==null and cancel==null) and called another mapping.findForward. This is the same forward used in "EditEmployeeAction" which I used to come to the Update page.In the ActionForm, in the reset method I took off the null for the Vector for country and state list and repopulated the lists. That is all!. PS-In case U need the source code clipping let me know. -- Sr. Executive Research & Development ASSYST (India) Pvt.
