html:select multiple does not populate form bean under jdk1.3

           Summary: html:select multiple does not populate form bean under
                    jdk1.3
           Product: Struts
           Version: Nightly Build
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Luc.Carpentier@uniway.be


Hello,

I discovered that the struts1.1 nightly build I was using (jakarta-struts-
20030205.zip) does not populate the ActionForm indexed properties properly, 
when you are using the JDK1.3 (I used jdk1.3.1_02).

The javabeans specification says that a javabean with an indexed propery can 
have the methods:

- void setter(int index, PropertyType value)
- PropertyType getter(int index)
- void setter( PropertyType value[] )
- PropertyType[] getter()

I defined an ActionForm bean with the three last signatures for my indexed 
property and concluded the following:

- This does work under the conbination struts1.0 / JDK1.3
- This does work under the conbination struts1.1(nightly) / JDK1.4 (i used 
jdk1.4.0_03)
- This does NOT work under the conbination struts1.1(nightly) / JDK1.3

In the last case, the ActionForm did not get populated with the selected values 
anymore. I simply switched the JAVA_HOME variable to test it under the two 
different JDK's (with tomcat versions 4.01,4.03 and 4.1.18).
All tomcat versions had the same result.

If I removed the getter method:
- PropertyType getter(int index)

all works fine. So why doesn't  this method work properly under the conbination 
struts1.1 / jdk1.3? All other conbinations work fine. This behaviour is so 
strange I don't even know where to report this (JDK bug? struts bug? commons 
beanutils bug?).

If you want a simple test application for this, i have one. So mail me if you 
want me to send it to you.

Greetings,

Luc Carpentier
