Thanks Sri for the help. I have updated the code to reflect your suggestions. I actually had an ArrayList in there originally and I changed it to an String[] because I was receiving the following error.
javax.servlet.ServletExcepion: BeanUtils.populate ... ----------- Root Cause -------------- java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument Type Mismatch Obviously I am trying to pass the wrong kind of value into the method but I am not sure how to get around this. Any more suggestions? thanks again for your help Jordan -----Original Message----- From: Sri Sankaran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 23 January 2003 3:27 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: How to handle a multiple select tag Is this setter being called at all? If the 'permissions' property of your form-bean is some kind of List (as it seems looking at the setter you have shown) I don't think this setter will be invoked at all. Struts will look for a void setPermissions(List x) method. Likewise when you displayed the page Struts would have obtained the default selection(s) from calling a List getPermissions() method. I haven't given you a definitive answer but hopefully this provided a clue.
