Once the user does a submit you have a new request. So the old request where your list is is no longer in scope and therefore no longer valid.
One solution would be to set validate="false" in the action mapping for the action and then call the form's validate method yourself in the aciton. If there are errors you can forward back to the jsp and reset the drop down list. You can also put the list of values for the drop down in the form bean as well.
