Hello Niels, 

I'v found another solution for my problem. In the Class SelectionListQuestion 
which extends the Question Class described in my first mail, I had to implement 
two "proxy methods" that take as parameter Collection Objects:

public Collection getCollection() {
   if (this.getResponse instanceof Collection) { 
         return (Collection)this.getResponse();
   }
    return new ArrayList();
}

public void setCollection(Collection col) {
    this.setResponse(col);
}

In the Binding I have to point to this methods for multivalue fields and it 
works. I don't no why, but it works.

Thanks,

Mike
