Array object within map backed property.

[Anthony Bargnesi]

Hello,

I am trying to use an Integer Array (Integer[]) within a map backed property
of my
ValidatorForm.  I declare my map as follows:

private Map _websiteIds = new HashMap();

The map _websiteIds is keyed by a String and the value object is an
Integer[].  In my
jsp file I try referencing the integer array within the map as such:

<html:select property="websiteIds(ids)" multiple="true" size="5">
    <html:options collection="WEB_SITES" property="websiteId"
labelProperty="websiteCode"/>
</html:select>

The map works with an integer but I would like to use either an array or
list.  This needs
to be this way because I have multiple="true" meaning I need multiple
selections to be set
in the request (and back in the form).  Am I doing something wrong to use an
array within
a map or is this even possible?

Thanks,

Anthony Bargnesi
