again ArrayList and javax.servlet.ServletException: BeanUtils.populateexception

[Martin Grebac]

Hi,
  I'm looking for any hint or advice. I've got code like this on my jsp 
page:

  <html:select property="folders" multiple="true">
    <html:options property="folders"/>
  </html:select>

property "folders" is a property of my "ModulePathForm" bean:

/* ModulePathForm.java */
public class ModulePathForm extends ActionForm{

    private ArrayList folders;

    public ModulePathForm() {
        super();
        folders = new ArrayList();
    }

    public ArrayList getFolders() {
        return this.folders;
    }
   
    public void setFolders(ArrayList folders) {
        this.folders = folders;
    }
}

the values from the bean are shown, but when I click Submit, I get this 
exception:

javax.servlet.ServletException: BeanUtils.populate

        at org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doPost(ActionServlet.java:509)

.....
root cause:

 I'm really stuck here, don't know what's wrong. I've read all the documentation, and 
according to the documentation, I think it should work like it is. Does anybody have 
any 
hint why it doesn't??

 Thanks for any help. 
     Martin
