Subject: checkbox and iterate problem

Hi,
 I'm having a problem with checkboxes and I was hoping someone could help.

 The short version is:
   when using <logic:iteratate> over an array of checkboxes, the setter
method is not called after submit

 Long version
   I have class   CheckableString { String str; boolean checked = false;
// etc.. };
   I have a Form
       HostForm extends ActionForm {
         CheckableString[] mFolders = new CheckableString[100];
        public CheckableString getFolder(int n) {
                System.err.println("HostForm getFolder a " + mFolders[n]);
                return mFolders[n];
        }
        public CheckableString[] getFolder() {
                System.err.println("HostForm getFolder b " + this);
                for (int i = 0; i != mFolders.length; i++) {
                        System.err.println("HostForm getFolder b " +
mFolders[i]);
                }
                return mFolders;
        }
        public void setFolder(int n, CheckableString folders) {
                System.err.println("HostForm setFolder a " + folders + " " +
this);
                mFolders[n] = folders;
        }
        public void setFolder(CheckableString[] folders) {
                System.err.println("HostForm setFolder b " + this);
                mFolders = folders;
        }
        public void reset(ActionMapping a, HttpServletRequest b) {
                System.err.println("HostForm reset " + this);
                flag = false;
                                for (int i = 0; i != mFolders.length; i++) {
                                        System.err.println("HostForm reset "
+ mFolders[i]);
                                        if (mFolders[i] != null)
        
mFolders[i].setChecked(false);
                                }
        }
        }

        I have an Action class setup the form, populating values from a
database,
it then forwards to a jsp page
<html:form>
......
<logic:iterate id="quack" name="hostForm" property="folder"
indexId="index">
<logic:present name='quack'>
  <tr>
    <th align="left">
       <html:checkbox indexed='true' value='true' property="checked"
name='quack' />
       <bean:write name="quack"/>   <bean:write name="index"/>
    </th>
  </tr>
</logic:present>
</logic:iterate>
....


The form is populated correctly, items marked as true are selected. And
looking at the logs the getter function is called
The problem is when I submit, the setter function is NEVER called, and the
Form is not populated.
note: If I have a simple non-indexed checkbox, then that works as expected
and the setter is called

I am using struts 1.1RC1

Anyone got any ideas ??, I'm stumped

Thanks

Neal
