1. extending StrutsTypeConverter forces me to implement String convertToString(Map context, Object o). I think there is no common sense way of converting a collection back to a String in this context. It would, maybe, make sense to convert it to a String[]. But what I actually want is to have access to the unconverted collection in the JSP. This might seem strange from some point of view, and I could live without it, but is there a way to do this? Example:

   <s:select multiple="true"
    name="myObjects"
    list="myObjects" listKey="id" listValue="name" />

This way I could use getMyObjects() for displaying my objects and setMyObjects() for setting them (using only their IDs).

Doesn't this imply that the myObjects property represents both the set of values that can be selected *and* the set of values that is / has been selected? What would happen if the user made their selection(s) and submitted the form, and the form was re-displayed due to a validation error?

Maybe I'm missing the pattern, but this doesn't seem right to me :=)
