This is just a guess, but you could try writing it like this: <html:select name="MyBean" property="myValue" value="${Mybean.myValue}"> ... </html:select>
I think the problem is the c:out tag in the value attribute. In any case, you don't need it. You can use EL expressions anywhere if you are using a container that supports the JSP2.0 specs.
