My form:checkboxes had to go over a list of entitys (ItemVenta) and save in the form's list elementos the entitys i checked. i googled answers and i found that i needed to add the method equals to my entity. It didn´t work. So intead of save entitys in the form´s list, now am i saving the ids of those entitys and it worked. I still go over a list of entitys.
