I think you have to store the value, setted in the checkbox ,in a session bean.Then set the selected item of the dropdown ,in the init() method using the value in the sessionbean.Unless you do this,your item that you set in dropdown will be lost after the "post" operation.

Hi,

A drop down component uses two values:

1. The real options value. This can be an object of any kind (String, Integer, etc)

2. The displayed value.

When you use the setSelected(Object), the "Object" must be the same class as the real options value (the one you used when you populated the list). It succeeds is there is a matching real options value in the list.

The Drop Down List component does not work with indexes (as Swing component does).
