My example would have been better if I had the syntax right.

Let me try again.

With a HTML <SELECT> list (or set of checkboxes), what is the easiest way to
collect the <OPTION> values with a <jsp:useBean>?

For example:

<FORM ACTION="/test.jsp" METHOD="POST">
<SELECT MULTIPLE NAME="foo">
<OPTION VALUE="1">One
<OPTION VALUE="2">Two
<OPTION VALUE="3">Three
</SELECT>

...or...

<FORM ACTION="/test.jsp" METHOD="POST">
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME=foo value="1"> One <BR>
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME=foo value="2"> Two <BR>
<INPUT TYPE=CHECKBOX NAME=foo value="3"> Three <BR>


....I select all three options and submit to a JSP which has the
following:

--------
<jsp:useBean id="foo" class="com.FooBean" />
<jsp:setProperty name="foo" property="*" />

The value of foo is: <%= foo.getFoo() %>.
---------

If my foo Bean has a method...

public void setFoo(String value);

.... it will receive the string "1,2,3".

That's sort of OK, but it's a bit dull having to parse out the
values >(and what if my <OPTION>s have commas in the values?)

So...Is there some easier way to collect <OPTION> values with a  bean?

Thanks
Richard
