The following code doesn't seem to validate whether the user chose an item.
In other words if a user doesn't select anything it still passes validation: JSP: <html:select property="roles" multiple="true" size="5"> <html:options collection="<%=my.Const.ROLE_TYPES%>" property="roleName" /> </html:select> validation.xml: <field property="roles" depends="required"> <arg0 name="required" key="label.user.Roles" /> </field> All the other fields validate just fine. Should I assume select (since it will return a value no matter what for a single select) isn't supported as an element type which can be "required" ???
