Hi, The minute I introduced Validator framework in my application ..... it started giving me the following error when I accessed the JSP .... centreList is used as a parameter for the dropdown. The minute I remove the validation.xml from the path... the application runs fine again! :( very strange and i am not able to explain this behavior .. can someone help? Thanks much in advance. Regards, Raghu
