java servlets accepts array of check boxes

[786snow]

Hi,

is it possible to send array of checkboxes to java sevlet.
In my HTML I do the following

***********

<TR>
<td><INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=check_all VALUE=Eh id="check_all[0]">
<b>Select all documents</b></td>
</TR>
<tr>
<td><div class="indent"><input type="checkbox" name="check_all" id="check_all[1]"
value="EZ"/ > Account statements </div></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><div class="indent"><input type="checkbox" name="check_all" id="check_all[2]"
value="EA"/ > Account statements </div></td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td><div class="indent"><input type="checkbox" name="check_all" id="check_all[3]"
value="EP"/ > Account statements </div></td>
</tr>

*************

Now when i submit and try to catch thhe values in my java sevlet, Like

String check_all = req.getParameter("check_all[0]");

I get null, like it is not recognizing an array, but if i do

String check_all = req.getParameter("check_all");

I get te value "Eh

I think you have to use a loop to do so, there is no smart way to do it.
String myResult[] = new String[4];
for (int i=0;i<4;i++){
myResult = req.getParameter("check_all["+i+"]");
}
There can be null in any element of myResult array if you have to tick any of the checkboxes.
