Ah I understand, however copying an array to a hidden or any other field won't work unless the field
is customized to handle arrays.
What should work is to masage the request map into a new map that uses a String instead of array if
there request map only has one entry. If it has multiple entries then leave it as an array. Should
be easy to write a function that does this, eg:
Map mymap = MyUtil.convertToSingleValueMap(request);

It does work fine with my custom HiddenField. It doesn't work with the Click HiddenField.
The map returned from the Request.getParameterMap() method is a Map<String, String[]>
rather than a Map<String, String>. So the Click HiddenField.setValueObject(object)
gets confused because it receives a String[] even when I have configured it to expect a
valueClass of String[] (or String).
If you were to create a simple Click Form named "myForm", then submit the form
and attempt to populate a new Form object (server-side) using
newForm.copyFrom(request.getParameterMap()), I believe that you will find that an
IllegalArguementException is thrown when the Click
HiddenField.setValueObject(stringArray) is called for this hidden field:
<input id="myForm_form_name" type="hidden" value="myForm" name="form_name">
(This hidden field is populated automatically by Form.toString(), and is a
Click HiddenField object.)
Thank you,
Nick.

Hi Bob. I did override the get/setValueObject methods in my custom HiddenField
class, which seemed to work for my own HiddenField members. But the Form class
generates additional Click HiddenField members to pass a couple of extra
parameters, including the form name. I don't have any control over which
version of HiddenField that Click Form uses ...
The copyForm iterates all fields and calls set/getValueObject on each one. I
would expect that the HiddenFields Click added should still work fine even when
mixed with your custom HiddenFields.
