I've been posting this thread to the dev list accidentally, and thought it
might be helpful in the future to people on turbine-user....
Phew! Got it.
Had to dig deep. Here's an example for the next person looking for the
answer to this one...
// for example, I created a list of values to set. java.util.ArrayList al =
new java.util.ArrayList(); al.add(new Integer(12)); al.add(new Integer(13));
al.add(new Integer(14));
// to use reflect.Method, need all parameters stored in an object array
Object[] oarray = { al };
// here's the magic
//get group
Group intakeGroup = intake.get(IntakeGroupName, IntakeTool.DEFAULT_KEY); //
get field setter from intake service java.lang.reflect.Method m =
org.apache.turbine.services.intake.TurbineIntake.getFieldSetter(IntakeGroupN
ame,IntakeGroupFieldName);
// invoke the set method
m.invoke(intakeGroup,oarray);
Perhaps there should be a more convenient way to do this?

Subject: RE: set multivalue intake field in screen class
Intake does have the ability to map multiple values to a field:
<field name="xxx" key="xxx" type="int" displayName="xxx:"
multiValued="true">
It works fine if you have a select box in a form, and perform a post -- i.e.
all the selected values are mapped to the appropriate field of the Intake
object. The multi-valued list is a list of workingdogs.Record objects, and
can be retrieved from a velocity screen...
However, I want to set those values before any post is performed. But doing
so has proven to be a convoluted task...

I assume you are using a select-field that allows to mark multiple items. I
don't think you can use Intake to automatically map multiple values of a
field. AFAIK Intake can only map single values. What I would do is
retrieving the currently assigned values from db and manually add the
"selected" attributes to the corresponding <option>-fields. If you need
Intake to validate the form, you can setTemp the current values or put them
in the path.
