Description

First, Kudos to team for creating a very simple yet powerful framework.

I have a situation where I would like to receive an unknown no. of user names from a web page. Using DHTML I am dynamically creating text fields as user[0], user[1]....

My FormAction.java looks like following

public class FormAction extends ActionSupport {
private String[] users = null;
public String[] getUsers()

{ return users; }

public void setUsers(String[] value)

{ this.users = value; }

public String processForm()

{ return SUCCESS; }

}

However, on submitting the action request, I get
java.lang.InstantiationException: [Ljava.lang.String; error. Even if I initialize the String array, it still does not work.

Not sure if this is a bug or a new feature request. Hence I have reported as a bug.

Would be great to instatiate dynmically unknow no. of object as array in this way.

Thanks in advance
