SelectTag using a collection property?

Hi,

I am learning struts and found out that select tag which renders a multiple 
options select box takes an array instead of a collection. Are there any 
plans to enable selectTag to use also collections?

It seems unintuitive to mandate the use of arrays as the nested options can 
be populated using collections. Also, it seems that support for collections 
is halfway there already (at least Struts 1.1 release that I am using). If I 
model selected options as a collection in the form bean, and give that 
collection to the select tag on JSP, the page is rendered without problems. 
Problems occur only when the form is submitted 
(javax.servlet.ServletException: BeanUtils.populate at 
org.apache.struts.util.RequestUtils.populate(RequestUtils.java:1254)
