I think my solution is much simpler. Instead of trying to place the FormFile directly into the colleciton I need to create a bean that will wrap the FormFile and hold the value as a property (setter/getter). I'll try that and post my findings. I have never used a property name that ended with an index number. Perhaps this is not a proper use.
