title: Spring AutoPopulatingList max size?
body: <p>I have a problem with the Spring AutoPopulatingList. My use case is the following : manage the list of users that can access an application.</p>
  
  <p>On the GUI side, I use an autocomplete field to search and add users to a table on the right. Users can also be removed from the table.
  When the GUI user submits, the GUI dynamically builds a form with fields for the users : selectedUsers[1], ..., selectedUsers[N].</p>
  
  <p>My problem is that the AutoPopulatingList in my "backing" bean seems to grow only to 256 items, and then stops. So I get the following error :</p>
  
  <p>[myapp.web.controller.admin.form.ApplicationForm]: Invalid list index in property path 'selectedUsers[256]'; nested exception is java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 256, Size: 256 </p>
  
  <p>Do you know if there is the actual limit ? If it is, is there a way to raise it ?
  If not, can you think of a workaround for this problem ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your help</p>
