What you are seeing is simply the way forms are handled upon submission.
Since all Options have the same name (that in the Select tag) or you've
named your checkboxes the same, they all get assigned to the same
Parameter (request.getParameter("foo")).
It looks like <jsp:setProperty name="foo" property="*" /> is using
request.getParameter("foo"). To get their individual values you'd have to
use request.getParameterValues("foo") which returns a String array.
Perhaps this is a problem with the implementation of <jsp:setProperty ...
