This issue is related to:

~~SPR-6799~~ When <form:select> binds a collection, the formatter are not used.

Description

« Hide

It seems that form:checkboxes only uses converters for the path-elements of the model but not for the items-elements. Having the same list of beans in the items property and the path property does not generate any selected checkboxes.

Sort Order:

Could you please give a concrete example for form:checkboxes usage that doesn't work in such a case? I'm having trouble reproducing this...

Here is a demo project which demonstrates the problem. As you can see from the log the correct objects are created but the checkboxes tag is unable to compare the selected values.
I would expect the checkboxes tag to use the converter to generate a string representation of the object and use it for comparison.

Fixed along with ~~SPR-6799~~: Converter/Formatter lookup had an issue in the multi-list case.
