Re: Newbie: Setters appear to not being called...

Your right, I had some strange behaviour in the past when working with the
base types (I thought), but looking at the BeanUtils code, I see that I was
too quick to blame the base types. Should work fine indeed.

And... as a hint to miss Scott: stuff like mapping <select> to String[]
works fine as well!
