Assigning Multipel Property Values using IDocumentProperties

Question

We have a template that was created using the Content Server Explorer for our users to be able to submit documents to the Knowledge Directory and we have few questions regarding that template:
One of the attributes in the template is Author(s) and it is a "Selection List" where the user would select one or more authors for the submitted document. Can we populate that list box from an external source, e.g. a database or LDAP instead of manually entering the values through Content Server Explorer?
If the answer to the above question is "No", then we will probably need to create a JSP/Servlet remote service to create that data entry template (instead of using Content Server Explorer to create the template) and use IDocumentManager to submit the document to the Plumtree Knowledge Directory and IDocumentProperties to assign the properties to that particular document (please correct if that is not the right approach). The question is how can we assign multiple values to a Plumtree property that can hold multiple values, i.e. a selection list? The example below sets values to properties that can hold only one value, e.g. title, date; what about a property such as "Author" where a document can have multiple subjects assigned to it?How do we go about ding that?
IDocumentProperties documentProperties = documentManager.queryDocumentProperties(documentID);
documentProperties.setStringValue(1, "EDK Trail Document EDITED"); // 1 = namedocumentProperties.setStringValue(105, "EDK Trail Document Title EDITED"); // 105 = title documentProperties.setStringValue(2, "Edited in EDK Trail"); // 2 = descriptiondocumentProperties.setDateValue(112, newDate()); // 112 = last modified date
documentManager.updateDocumentProperties(documentID, documentProperties);
Thanks.

HI
I've scriplet like tis
<% String messageId= %><bean:write name="messagestag" property="messageId/><% ;
String newMessageId = "http:/localhost?messageId=" + messageId;
%>
Well you should be using <bean:define> tag for this purpose
how do i do that ?
Try implementing something defined down below.
{code}<bean:define name="messagestag" property="messageId" id="messageId" type="java.lang.String" />
<%
String newMessageId = "http:/localhost?messageId=" + messageId;
%>{code}
Also,i'd recommend you to take a good reading on Struts based basic taglibraries to improve yourself.
