How to take values of only selected checkbox in Action class in Struts 2 and JSP

java jsp checkbox struts2 checked
10,381

The value attribute should not be empty value="". If you followed the linked answer you have seen that s:checkbox tag is used. When this tag is rendered it provided the field value for both checked and unchecked checkbox. And remarking Dave Newton's notice in his book "It should have values true or false the only viable values for the moment. These are only values that work correctly with checkbox interceptor."

The tag renders a single checkbox . At the time of this writing it only works well with Boolean (or boolean) properties. Attempting to preselect a checkbox with, for example, a string value only works if the string is true or false .

There's an example Struts 2 checkbox example, which is using such fieldValue attribute.

If you want a deep incite into how checkbox interceptor is working you can read <s:checkbox> not auto populating in struts2 form.

Another example that is using multiple checkboxes Struts 2 multiple check boxes example. Unlike the s:checkbox it doesn't work with any unchecked values and you can map values directly using listKey and listValue attributes.

    I am displaying 24 checkboxes. I want to get all the values of checked checkboxes in action class and insert it as a new record inside database.Inserting will be done once I succeed in getting the values of checked checkboxes on button click.

    I referred this link in which I followed the answer answered by steven sir but with help of that I can display only boolean values but here I want text values of checkboxes selected.

    So below is my JSP page.

    <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
