Hi, Yes you can initiate an attribute of type arrayList in the DynaForm as follows,
<form-property name="yourList" type="java.util.List" /> And in the action mapping specify the name of the Form Bean that you are about to use. In this case the form bean that contains the List you'r going to initiate..
