Re: Value Object Collection types for properties

Short answer: no.  This is indeed a limitation of the Isis programming
model.

It's not something we find too restricting in practice, however.  You could
of course simply define a very simple "lookup" entity that wraps the
string, and have a collection of those.

Arguably this is better design too, since it builds the ubiquitous language
for your domain.  After all, what's a list of strings meant to mean,
anyway?  But a list of preferences, or a list of colors, or a list of US
states, or a list of...  you get the idea.

Cheers
