HTML select multiple and actionForm with collection
Help?!
I have an action form with a collection as a member. The actionform has
only getSelected and setSelected(selected is the name of the
collection)
My web page has a multiple select list containing many values. When I
submit (having several values selected) I expect the selected
values(Strings) to be put into the collection of the ActionForm. But
instead I get a root cause exception of java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
argument type mismatch.
It seems it's trying to convert a String to a collection? Where am I going
wrong?
thx,
Henrik Bentel

A bean backed by a collection is a good idea and it make multi row
processing easy, and DAO feeds easy; my beans have a list property as
you do.
I solved your issues here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/basicportal/bP/WEB-INF/src/war/com/baseBeans/scaffoldingXPress/base/BaseBean.java
via making a form bean implement a collection w/ iterator adaptor that
... iterates (the real) list.
