problem with SelectOneListbox

Hello, am trying to create a SelectOneListbox and the page is giving this error which I can't decipher:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Conversion Error setting value ''{0}'' for ''{1}''.

My code is below. I know someone posted a similar problem here recently but I can't figure out how he solved it. Thank you

testselect.jsp:

}

selectOneListbox works as follows:

JSF

MyBean"value" can be of any object type and it must correspond with the selectedItem getter/setter. Usually it's just a String. "label" is what you see on the menu.

Hello Bauke Scholtz and thanks for the reply. I changed the code to match what you posted but the error is still appearing.

testselect.jsp:

<html>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h" %>

<f:view>
<head>
<title>A Simple JavaServer Faces Application</title>
</head>
<body>
<h:form>
<h:selectOneListbox value="#{form.language}">
<f:selectItems value="#form.languages}" />
</h:selectOneListbox>
<h:commandButton value="Submit" action="listLanguage" />
</h:form>
</body>
</f:view>
</html>

RegisterForm.java:

public class RegisterForm
{

private String language;

private List languages;

public String getLanguage()
{
return language;
}

public void setLanguage(String newValue)
{
this.language = newValue;
}

public List getLanguages()
{
if (languages == null)
{
languages = new ArrayList();
languages.add(new SelectItem("en", "English"));
languages.add(new SelectItem("ch", "Chinese"));
}
return languages;
}
}

I found the problem. It was a typo in my page (left out the opening brace in my SelectOneListbox statement). Thank you again for your help!
