Spring MVC passing ArrayList back to controller

I am new to Spring. I display a list with users. Every row has a checkbox for removing the users.

Controller:

@Controller
public class AdminController {

    @Autowired
    private UserDao userDao;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/admin", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView adminPage() {
        ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView();
        model.addObject("users", userDao.findAll());
        model.setViewName("admin");
        return model;

    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "admin/remove", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public ModelAndView removeUser(@ModelAttribute(value = "users") ArrayList<User> users) {
        ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView();
        model.setViewName("redirect:/admin");
        return model;

    }

JSP:

<form:form action="/admin/remove" method="POST"  modelAttribute="users">
            <table class="table table-striped">
                <thead>
                    <tr>
                        <th>Firstname</th>
                        <th>Lastname</th>
                        <th>Email/login</th>
                        <th>Profession</th>
                        <th>Select<th>
                    </tr>
                </thead>
                <tbody>
                    <c:forEach var="user" items="${users}">
                        <tr>
                            <td>${user.firstName}</td>
                            <td>${user.lastName}</td>
                            <td>${user.login}</td>
                            <td>${user.profession}</td>
                            <td><input type="checkbox" value="${user.delete}"/></td>
                        </tr>
                    </c:forEach>
                </tbody>
            </table>            
            <input type="submit" value="Delete user(s)" class="btn-danger" />
            <input type="hidden" name="${_csrf.parameterName}" value="${_csrf.token}" />
            </form:form>

The list is rendered correctly. If i press the "Delete user(s)" button. The @modelAttribute users is empty. I also tried wrapping the list in a new class, but i get the same results.

Any ideas?
