Hello, I am using spring 3.0.5 with webflow 2.3 in a jetspeed portlet environment running on tomcat 6

I am trying to migrate a page from spring mvc to spring webflow and have run into an issue with the dynamic list binding. My page has a list of textboxes and a button to add more textboxes via javascript. The controls are indexed as such:
Code:
<input id="strings0" name="strings[0]" value="this is the first string" type="text">
<input id="strings1" name="strings[1]" value="this is the second string" type="text">
Model class:
Code:
public class TestMdl implements Serializable{
 private List<String> strings;
 public TestMdl() {
  strings=new AutoPopulatingList<String>(String.class);
 }
...
My mvc implementation originally used a linked list called "strings" and has been working fine. However, i need to migrate this page to spring webflow and have not been able to get the newly created textboxes to bind.
I have tried switching from a LinkedList to an AutoPopulatingList
I have tried the suggestions from http://forum.springsource.org/showth...ding-supported but none of it seems to make a difference,

I will say that my MVC implementation that i still have working has continued to work while I changed from a LinkedList implementation to the AutoPopulatingList.

As long as the list is populated before render (testService.getStrings()) then I can bind without problem, only newly added objects fail.

flow:
Code:
	<view-state id="test" model="testMdl">
		<on-render>
			<evaluate expression="testService.getStrings()" result="flowScope.testMdl"/>
		</on-render>	
		<transition on="update" to="test" >
			<evaluate expression="testService.update(testMdl)"/>
		</transition>
	</view-state>
Here are some of the logs after attempting to add a couple of strings. There was already one string in the list(prepopulated before loading the page by the getStrings method) so the binding failed on the second text string.
