have you added dimensionList as a property of your managed bean in the faces-config.xml?

[rnepal]

thanx for quick reply
i have not done that
so what to do then (to add property as testForm is already a managed bean)
gain thanking u

[rnepal]

This is Dimensions.java class

public class Dimensions {

private boolean checked;
private String dimensionName=null;
....
with getters and setters of above properties

}
The List of obejcts of above class is created inside TestForm.java which is a managed bean name with name testForm
inside getDimensionList method of TestForm
so what i have to specify in property name and property class in faces-config.xml

You only need to specify the dimensionList like:

<managed-bean-name>testForm</managed-bean-name>
 <managed-bean-class>path.to.your.class.classname</managed-bean-class>
 <managed-bean-scope>the scope you need</managed-bean-scope>
 <managed-property>
 <property-name>dimensionList</property-name>
 <property-class>java.util.List</property-class>
 <list-entries/>
 </managed-property>
 </managed-bean>

in your bean you define the List like:

List<Dimension> dimensionList = new ArrayList<Dimension>();

somewhere you need to fill your list with Dimension objects. (in the construcotr or in an actionmethod that you invoke via a button on the page or whatever)

That should be all to get it running

i have declared the list in faces-config as u suggested but my problem is not solved. It is giving me same error that property no found on type java.lang.string.
It is rendering when the page is loaded but as i submit the list it throws error. my requirement is to get reordered list in backing beans.
your help is much appreciated.
again thanking you.

Update:
i figured out my problem
it is due to no converter so we should add custom converter
