    Need help populating a select

      Hello,


      I need to resolve the following issue:
      I have 2 selects, the first containing cities, the other postal codes. Both selects are required on form submission.
      When I select a city the second select needs to be populated with codes depending on what city was selected.


      I've tried the following way: 


      <h:selectOneMenu id="cities" tabindex="28"  value="#{registerAction.selectedCity}" valueChangeListener="#{registerAction.setPostalCode}" immediate="true"  required="true">
     <s:selectItems value="#{cities}" var="city" label="#{city}" noSelectionLabel="-- please select --" />
      <a:support  event="onchange" reRender="postalCode" immediate="true" />
 </h:selectOneMenu>
  
<a:outputPanel id="postalCode">
<h:selectOneMenu id="postalCodes" value="#{registration.person.postalCode}" tabindex="30" required="true">
     <s:selectItems value="#{postalCodes}" var="postalCode" label="#{postalCode.code}" noSelectionLabel="-- please select --" />
      <f:converter converterId="postalCodeConverter" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
</a:outputPanel>



      The problem is that when no city is selected the validation fails, and stops the validation for the rest of the form. I would like on submit to have all fields validated in one phase.


      Is there any other way to solve the logic without using mmediate to true?


      Thanks a lot!
