RE: retaining multi select options with hidden fields
If you use the same form bean for the second page and if you do not initialize the String[] property in your form bean reset method, the form bean values are available to the second page also.

multi-select which is populating a String[] property of a form bean, and then
on the second page I need to retain those selections using hidden fields. What
is the syntax I need to use for the hidden fields to ensure that the String[]
property gets set correctly by the BeanUtils magic?

Yep, except it needn't be written as an indexed field unless order is
important. So, something like
logic:iterate name=MyForm property=multiSelectProp id=value
html:hidden property=multiSelectProp value=${value}/
/logic:iterate
will do it. If order *is* important, you'll need to include [#] on the
end of the property name, where # will be the iteration number.
Something like
logic:iterate name=MyForm property=multiSelectProp
id=value indexId=row
html:hidden property=multiSelectProp[${row}] value=${value}/
/logic:iterate
Note, I haven't tested either solution, but something along those lines
is what you need.
