Seems to me that this violates good UI design.  I mean, what purpose does a Select Box 
have if you can't select anything.  If I rememember my UI theory correctly, the 
selections should be displayed in a form such as static text that makes it clear that 
they aren't changeable.

I might use a table (single column to mimic the layout of the Select) and display 
static text in it for the selected items.

:-> We are achieving the same using disabled property. First

:-> select box is disabled with the selected value (you might

:-> edit mode retrieve it from the already stored value (session).

:-> otherwise as meeru suggested display it in a readonly textbox.
