Hi Martin, I do something like: request.setAttribute("centreList",DataAccessManager.getCentres()); before invoking the jsp. The strange part is, the minute i remove validation.xml from the validator path, effectively removing the validation framework, every thing works just fine! Just cant explain it ! :( Thanks again in advance to anyone who can explain this! Please find the StudentEnquiry.jsp attached. ----------------------------------------
