If I leave the selection box without selecting and submit the form, Validator doesn't complain. Pls let me know if anyone has a clue why this is happening. My validation.xml has: <field property="serviceSetOfService" depends="required"> <arg0 key="text.services.serviceset"/> </field> Thanks, Suresh
