Further to this (still can't save drop down list changes :-( ), I have an example where an object x contains an object y that can be selected using a drop down list, but y is currently null as I haven't added it to x yet (would be done using the drop down list). Is the trick here to create y in the formBackingObject and set the id to -1? Currently I get a null pointer in the property editor, presumably as its trying to compare the id or name of a null object.

Thanks for the replies Mike.

Two issues with the below is that it doesn't seem to like me using spring:form. Everything else seems to be form:form which seems to work. I therefore tried the below using form:select, and I get the following exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.SelectedValueComparator.exhaustiveCompare(SelectedValueComparator.java:154) at org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.SelectedValueComparator.isSelected(SelectedValueComparator.java:90) at org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.OptionWriter.isSelected(OptionWriter.java:184) at org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.OptionWriter.renderOption(OptionWriter.java:172) at org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.OptionWriter.doRenderFromCollection(OptionWriter.java:155)

Hmm. In that case you might want to take a look at Spring's form tags to make life a little easier: http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/reference/spring-form.tld.html <http://static.springframework.org/spring/docs/2.0.x/reference/spring-form.tld.html> So your JSP would look something like: <spring:form commandName="website" ...> ... <spring:select path="contact.country" items="${countries}" itemLabel="name" itemValue="id"/>
....
</spring:form> A lot simpler and Spring will do all the hard work for you. As long as your form backing object has a non-null contact attribute, it should all work like magic. I think the problem in your code is the name you attach to the select element - Spring expects specific names to get its bindings sorted out. Mike.
