Code for Double list is:

<s oubleselect label="Select Item"
headerValue="--- Please Select ---"
headerKey="1" list="{'Color','Fruits'}"
doubleName="dishes"
doubleList="top == 'Color' ? {'Black','Green','White',
'Yellow','Red','Pink'} : { 'Apple','Banana','Grapes','Mango'}" />

Is your s oubleselect tag nested inside of an s:form tag?

[Y Jadhav]

Yes it is nested inside form tag

interesting, the API says the formName attribute of the double select tag isn't required but it appears that it is crashing for you if it isn't populated. I've never used it so I can't say, but it may be a bug in struts2. Did you override the doubleselect.ftl for any of your themes? If you didn't then I would suggest supplying the form name attribute to the tag to see if that will fix it.
