I think you can use something like this in a request scoped form-bean :

protected List item;

public void setItem(int index, Object obj) {
    if (this.item == null) {
        this.item = new ArrayList(index);
    } else {
        this.item.ensureCapacity(index);
    }
    this.item.add(index, obj);
}

This way, when form-bean population occurs, you will get a new Collection when needed.
