Swaroop, I have made a change to <bean:define>. I removed 'property' --> (If not specified, the bean identified by name is given a new reference identified by id.)

(Ofcourse a commercial application..) I have a class called DropDownCollections.java Now in the class I have a method getMonths() which will return me a collection of months.. I am using the months collection to populate the options.. You can actually use an html:select instead of a nested:select The getMonths() returns a set of beans having two attributes key and value.. Key will be the month numbers 1,2,3,4.. While value will be month names Jan, Feb,.. While the dropdown is rendered the month name will be shown.. When the page is submitted the month num(key) will be set to the property 'month' Hope it helps..
