Strange selectOneListbox problem

[Ian Dunsirn]

I am having the weirdest problem. I have a page with some components, one of which is a button. This button was working fine until I put in a selectOneListbox, calling it's listener method like a pro.

I put in the selectOneListbox and suddenly the button doesn't seem to work, not callings its method.

I have included the jsp code. The listener method is just three debug lines telling me that it was called.

The strange thing is, if I replace the f:selectItems with an empty list, things seem to work fine.

Can anyone point out what I may be missing here? All my beans are defined and populated.

I am such a newb. I figured out that the problem lies in my command button. I put in the attribute immediate="true" and everything works like it should.
