Since none of the items in your <html:options> collection is (or can be) null [*], even if the user does not make a selection, there is a default value and therefore the validation is successful.
You could try to add a dummy default value (such as "Please select one") and use a NOTEQUAL test. Sri * You may run into a problem with setting a null option value.

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 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
