Issues binding to array of custom editor

The Binding model cannot find proper converting property editor when binding to an array of custom type.

The 'findSpringConvertingPropertyEditor' method of BindingModel finds a TypeDescriptor of types.CustomType[] when perhaps it should be types.CustomType?

this occurs when trying to bind multiple checkboxes to an array property.

ex.
Model:

public class Model {
   private MyType[] options = {MyType.TYPE_1, MyType.TYPE_2};
   private MyType[] selected;
 
   // getter & setters
}

View - jsp file

....
<c:forEach items="${model.options}" var="option">
   <form:checkbox path="selected" value="${option}" id="selected${option}" /> <label for="selected${option}"><spring:message message="${option}" /></label>
</c:forEach>

–

Notes: The value option prints out the toString() method of the MyType class (because it cannot find the proper converter)
The same model/jsp and converters bind properly when using the Spring MVC binder.
The converter works because using a hidden input tag <form:hidden path="oneSelected" /> will bind properly if oneSelected is a field of type MyType.
