Is that "name" attribute really required in the select tag, since it is already inside an html form?. Am not sure about if this is going to help or not.

As far as I know adminForm is optional, whenever I remove it in the select or the optionCollection it doesnt change anything (to my error I mean)

Since the rol property is an array, you must specify multiple="true" in your html:select tag. For more information, see the heading select in this link.

Thanks a lot! That worked. I though "multiple" referred to select more than one at the same time. Presupposing is one of the worst error one can�t debug.

Actually, you're right -- multiple does mean that you can select more than one at a time. That's why it requires an array to hold the result. If you do not intend for the user to select more than one value, make rol an int or a String and remove the multiple="true" from your select tag. The important thing is that the tag and the property must be consisitent. If the property is an array, the tag must allow for multiple values to be selected. If the property is a single value, the tag must not allow for multiple values to be selected.

..strange, the problem was with the array of "rol" in the ActionForm.

Whenever the select has multiple=true or not, rol must be an array or it won�t get the value, so I have to use rol[0] later.
Looks like I did something wrong but I checked the form getters and setters and I dont see anything bad.
At least is working, thanks again.

I'm glad it's working, Mario, but the above statement simply isn't true. If you don't specify multiple="true" in an <html:select> the property can be a String or int, not an array and it will get populated just fine.

I know it�s not logic, but that�s what I�m doing and works.
Perhaps something barely related with this is not right in some part of my code, but for the record, this is what I have actually:
