What is the signature of method HtmlOptionsForm.setNewList() ?

Try using simple array , instead.

Also, the "name" attribute in <html:link> tag looks for bean with "Map" that contains one or more query parameter ids and corresponding values. Look here for details:

hi thasnks for the reply.
method signature is correct.
i have read the specifications,it says only the strings and string arrays are only allowed
simple array is working,and also all other properties are working except arraylist type.
