jsp/checkbox problem

[jagprg]

HI,

I have a jsp page with 2-3 check boxes, I get the object from the database which returns a boolean, How do I use that to set the checkbox

<html:checkbox property="Supplies"  value='<%= obj.getUnmeteredTO().getSupplies() ? "true" : "false" %>'/> -- Supplies<br/>

I am able to set the value but not the check box itself, how do i set it so that it is visible as checked on the jsp page.(depending on the value from db)

thanks

try this :

<html:checkbox property="Supplies"  checked='<%= obj.getUnmeteredTO().getSupplies() ? "checked" : "" %>'/> -- Supplies<br/>

That should work.

Hi,

In the action class that invokes the jsp page set Supplies value with the values in the jsp and set it back to the ActionForm.

Ex:
CheckBoxForm.java

  private String[] fruits = {};
  public void setFruits(String[] fruits) {
        this.fruits = fruits;
    }
  public String[] getFruits() {
        return fruits;
    }

In CheckBoxAction.java

 String[] defaultFruits = { "Orange", "Banana", "Apple" };
 CheckBoxForm form = (CheckBoxForm)form;
 form.setFruits(defaultFruits)

checkBox.jsp

<html:multibox property="fruits" value="Strawberry" />Strawberry<br />
	<html:multibox property="fruits" value="Apple"/>Apple<br />
	<html:multibox property="fruits" value="Orange"/>Orange<br />
	<html:multibox property="fruits" value="Pear"/>Pear<br />
	<html:multibox property="fruits" value="Mango"/>Mango<br />
	<html:multibox property="fruits" value="Banana"/>Banana<br />
	<html:multibox property="fruits" value="Pineapple"/>Pineapple<br />

It will select only the fruits in the defaultFruits[]. Try some thing like this.

Cheers
