what would we do to bind a couple of inputs (text input or text area) to a List property of the Command object?

what we had done (even after using the custom class) was for binding one input to a property (of simple type or an object)

but we want each input to be set as an element of the List property .

I had done tons of research online , not very useful result . this is what I have come up with but have not tested it yet .

"assumming that thhe Criteria Class has a "List<String> Description" property

on the jsp side we have

<c:forEach var="j" begin="0" end= "................

<form:textarea path="${descriptions[j]}" rows="5" cols="30" />

is this the way to do it?

this the right way to do

<c:forEach var="i" begin="0" end= .............................

<form:textarea path="descriptions[${i}]" rows="5" cols="30" />
