Thank you for responding to me both times. However, I have tried both
declarations and I get the same result.
<form-property name="selectedAttributes" type="java.lang.String[]" />
and
<form-property name="selectedAttributes" type="java.lang.String" />
I know that Ljava.lang.String is an array of strings, however, either
it is being processed wrong, or I do not know how to process the data
correctly. Lets say that the ListBox has elements: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; and
I select 2, 3, and 4. Given the code that I have shown in my previous
posts I receive the output: Ljava.lang.String;@57125f92, instead of
what I want which I believe should be the value "2", since I am
referencing attr[0]. Hopefully I have described my issue better and
that we can work together to find a solution. Thank you and anyone
else in advance.
