This works fine for me with multi-select.
For single select, you can force it to work by making the first option
return an empty String:
<html:select property="myprop">
<html:option value="">Please select a value --></html:option>
<html:option value="option1">Option 1</html:option>
<html:option value="option2">Option 2</html:option>
<html:option value="option3">Option 3</html:option>
</html:select>
Don't forget you can combine multiple option(s) tags:
<html:select property="roles" multiple="true" size="5">
<html:option value="">Please select a value --></html:option>
<html:options collection="<%=my.Const.ROLE_TYPES%>"
property="roleName" />
</html:select>

Subject: Does "required" work with Multi Select
The following code doesn't seem to validate whether the user chose an item.
In other words if a user doesn't select anything it still passes validation:
JSP:
<html:select property="roles" multiple="true" size="5">
<html:options collection="<%=my.Const.ROLE_TYPES%>"
property="roleName" />
</html:select>
validation.xml:
<field property="roles" depends="required">
<arg0 name="required" key="label.user.Roles" />
</field>
All the other fields validate just fine.
Should I assume select (since it will return a value no matter what for a
single select)
isn't supported as an element type which can be "required" ???
