Your iterate will store each element in your userIds[] as a page scope
variable with the name "foo". So the selects need to point to that.
However the <html:select> tag either needs to point to a bean's property
(rather than a String) or have its value attibute set. If you're using jstl
you could set the value attribute on the select to foo...
<html:select property="userIds" indexed="true" value="${foo}">
otherwise I think your userIds should be a bunch of beans rather than
String[]
