Description

I'm facing a problem when i don't specify name attribute in struts select tag, where the same tag was working fine in earlier release (2.3.4 *) . My select tag is as follows

<s:select headerKey="" headerValue="%{getText('sel.dept')}" id="departments"  list="dropdownData.departments"
listValue="deptName" listKey="id"  theme="simple" tabindex="1"  multiple="true" size="5" cssStyle="min-width:130px"/>

The exception is as follows and it got disappeared when i add name attribute
