Suppose I have the drop down list which I wanted to create from a database
and the database is updated less frequently, is there a way in which I can
implement somekind of caching mechanism, with which I won't do a database
query always, instead I can use the cache to populate the drop down list?

Add the attribute to your tag like so:
<html:select ... multiple="true" ...>
and make sure the corresponding property in your form bean is an array of
values.
See the docs for more details:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/struts-html.html#select
Hope this helps.
