Hi Roberto,

I forgot to respond it seems.. Did you get around the problem in the 
meantime?

That are two challenges here:
* You need a way to filter your users based on some input (e.g. 
country=italiy)
* You need to be able to batch-process a collection of users

For the filter I'd suggest to introduce a "demand" DTO, s.th. like this:

class UserFilter {

   protected $country;

   // ...
}

class UserController {

   public function indexAction(UserFilter $filter) {
     $users = $this->userRepository->findByFilter($filter);
   }
}

This is a very extensible way and you can re-assign the filter to the 
view in order to populate the <f:form.* /> ViewHelpers properly:

<f:form action="index" method="get" object="{filter}" objectName="filter">
   <f:form.textfield property="country" />
   <!-- ... -->
</f:form>



For the second challenge (batch-processing) I think the link at least 
points in the right direction: Just create a "batch" DTO that contains a 
collection of users.. The corresponding Fluid template might look like:
<f:form action="batchprocess" object="{users}" objectName="users">
   <f:for each="{filteredUsers}" as="user" iteration="iteration">
     <f:form.checkbox property="users.{iteration.index}" value="{user}" />
   </f:for>
   <!-- ... -->
</f:form>


(all untested)
HTH,
