html:hidden as a collection not String

[Shanna7463 <sh...@yahoo.com>]

Is it possible to assign a collection to a html:hidden component, rather than
a string?  
Basically my webapp allows the user to select different options for access
control.  I would like to add these selections to a collection and pass that
to my Action class. 

Thanks inadvance!!

A hidden input will submit a single string value. To submit a set of 
values you either need to use multiple hidden inputs (i.e. one per 
collection entry) or manually marshal the collection into a single 
string (e.g. a comma separated list of values) the unmarshal it again 
when it's submitted. Multiple hidden inputs is probably the 
easier/cleaner approach.
