RE: I want to create a List of items and then allow the user to choose several items from the List.

Okay.  Let me show you what I have real quick.  In my ValidatorForm  I have a 
instance variables and a method:

private List groups = null;
private GroupBean groupBean = null;

public void setGroups() {
     this.groups = new LinkedList();
     this.groupBean = new GroupBean("Cats", false);
     groups.add(groupBean);
     this.groupBean = new GroupBean("Dogs", false);
     groups.add(groupBean);
     this.groupBean = new GroupBean("Birds", false);
     groups.add(groupBean);     
}


external to the ValidatorForm but in the same package I have the following:

public class GroupBean {
    private String groupName = "";
    private boolean checkMarked =false;
    
    public GroupBean() {
        this.groupName = "";
        this.checkMarked = false;
    }
    
    public GroupBean(String groupName, boolean checkMarked) {
        setGroupName(groupName);
        setCheckMark(checkMarked);
    }
    
    public void setGroupName(String groupName) {
        this.groupName = groupName;
    }
    
    public String getGroupName() {
        return groupName;
    }
     
    public void setCheckMark(boolean checkMarked) {
        this.checkMarked = checkMarked;
    }
    
    public boolean getCheckMark () {
        return checkMarked;
    }
  
}


How can I use the <c:forEach....> to traverse the List and put the GroupBean 
object in a multibox?  

Thanks in advance,

--Brad.

p.s. Sorry for the trivial question....I have a cold and I am not thinking 
straight.

... and a multibox example, in case you want checkboxes rather than a
select list:

   <c:forEach items="${accountMap}" var="item" >
       <html-el:multibox property="accounts" value="${item.key}"/>
       <c:out value="${item.key}"/> <br/>
    </c:forEach>

(This uses a Map rather than a List, but you get the idea.)
