Answer 1

Give your list the exact name what you have in your bean, in your case city. It should start working now.

Answer 2

Finally got the solution after writing following code :

            <s:select list="cities" name="city">
            <s:iterator value="cities">
            </s:iterator>
        </s:select>

And at the time of insertion through DAO, it will automatically fetching all the value from bean.

Hi chandru,

In your action class you are probably have an attribute based on the select tag. When you set this value add an annotation above the method signature.

Something like:

@RequiredStringValidator(type = ValidatorType.SIMPLE, message = "Please select a value", fieldName = "select")

This should sort you out. This can also be done within the struts.xml file in a fairly similar way.
