VG> Hello,

VG>   I have read the newsgroups regarding multiple selects.
VG>   I have a multiple html:select control that starts out empty
VG>   I populate the select control by using a textbox and an add button
VG>   so it is filled dynamically.
  

VG>   My html:select is:
VG>   <html:select property="questionOptions" multiple="true" size="2" />

VG>   which comes out like :
VG>   <select name="questionOptions" multiple="multiple" size="2"
VG> style="width:500 px; height: 61px"></select>

VG>   I have an action Form that has:

VG>   private String[] gstrQuestionOptions                        = null;

VG>   public String[] getQuestionOptions()
VG>   {
VG>          return this.gstrQuestionOptions;
VG>   }
VG>   public void setQuestionOptions( String[] value )
VG>   {
VG>          this.gstrQuestionOptions = value;
VG>   }

VG>   Even in the validate i try the following
VG>   System.out.println( getQuestionOptions().length ) and i get
VG>   java.lang.NullPointerException

VG>   Since the select control is dynamically populated would i have to
VG>   use something like request.getParameterValues("questionOptions")
VG>   instead?


VG>   Thank you
  


Belive it or not your response helped me figure it out.  I added them
