Map-backed ActionForms - multiple select - object value conversion

           Summary: Map-backed ActionForms - multiple select - object value
                    conversion
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: agjedrus@yahoo.com


We use multiple select input on my web UI. When we select two (or more) values 
for one parameter (multiselect-select with options) only one value is 
propagated to ActionForm (the first one), we lose others forever. We use Map-
backed ActionForm:

public class HashActionForm extends ActionForm{
    static private Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(HashActionForm.class);
    HashMap params = new HashMap();

    public void setVal(String key, Object value){
        logger.info("And we have: " + key + " : " + value.toString());
        params.put(key, value);
    }

    public Object getVal(String key){
        return params.get(key);
    }
}
As far as we found the problem is with conversion of String[]. In current 
version if request has a parameter with value of type String[], conversion 
takes only first value of that parameter.
