Hi,
I am using jsf 1.1
I am trying to populate a simple drop down in MyJsp.jsp with the List values generated in ContactsListBean.java. I am copying the code here for reference.
when I launch the page (forwarding to this MyJsp.jsp in index.jsp) I am getting this error below. Can anyone help me out what is it that I am doing wrong?? I am unable to trace out what's wrong. I have even tried the same logic with h:selectOneListbox also but I get the same error..
Any help/advice would be highly appreciated, Thanks in advance.

In the future please kindly mention about crossposting before others discover that you're wasting their time.

The answer is: always put classes in a package and in your specific case, get rid of those managed properties. Those makes no sense.
