Checkbox and Map ActionForm

2003-11-26 Thread Ryan 
I have checkboxes on my form that have multiple options/group.
The name for each group of checkboxes is generated from the database, so 
I decided to use a map on my action form to collect the checkbox values 
since the names of the checkbox are not known.

However, when more than one option is selected within a group, BeanUtils
turns the array passed from the checkbox into the first value of the array.
For example, if for box1 1,3,4 are selected, box1's value in the map is 1.

Is there a way to collect the values submitted by a checkbox group 
without knowing the name of this group beforehand?

Thanks
Ryan


The html form:

html:form action=/setMethods scope=request
html:checkbox property=value(box1) value=1/1
html:checkbox property=value(box1) value=2/2
html:checkbox property=value(box1) value=3/3
html:checkbox property=value(box1) value=4/4
html:checkbox property=value(box1) value=5/5
brbr
html:checkbox property=value(box2) value=a/a
html:checkbox property=value(box2) value=b/b
html:checkbox property=value(box2) value=c/c
br
input type=submit
/html:form
The action form

public class FooForm extends ActionForm {

private final Map values = new HashMap();

public void setValue(String key, Object value){
values.put(key, value);
}
public Object getValue(String key){
return values.get(key);
}
}

Re: Checkbox and Map ActionForm

The array generated from selecting multiple checkboxes with the same 
name is not being passed as a whole value into the action form.  Instead 
only the first value is being set as the value.  I was wondering how you 
would get the whole array into the action form.

Thanks
Ryan
