The problem is that you are generating the multibox in the iterate tag - if you just have one set, I bet it is okay. But you have multiple sets *ALL* with the same name. Thus Struts doesn't know have to populate them. Typical requirement for indexing. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that indexed attribute never got added multibox, but Aaron's nested tags might support them.

My HTML looks like this <input type="checkbox" id="Exhibitor1" name="participants[0].roleCd" value="E"> <input type="checkbox" id="Speaker1" name="participants[0].roleCd" value="S"> <input type="checkbox" id="Attendee1" name="participants[0].roleCd" value="A"> <input type="checkbox" id="Head1" name="participants[0].roleCd" value="H"> the participants[0] is caused by the fact that I have more then one participants per activity but tif you put <input type="checkbox" name="fruit" value="apple"> <input type="checkbox" name="fruit" value="blueberry"> <input type="checkbox" name="fruit" value="Strawberry"> and you have a String[] fruit; in your action form. It is my understanding that this would work. Anyway this is working for me.

It does seem really similar. When you view the html source, does each checkbox have the same "name" property? Also, to add to the complexity, in my particular case, the list of checkboxes is dynamically generated via the logic:iterate tag. It is not kwown ahead of time how many checkboxes there will be. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 1:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Multiple checkboxes with the same name -- possible with Struts? I am not sure to understand your problem then. In my case we have roles instead of fruit. We have an activity that have more then one participant and each participant can have more then one role. [X]Organizer [ ]Speaker [ ]Attendee [ ]Sponsor ... etc My ActionForm contains a participant bean that has a role property define as String[] role; The array of string gets populated properly with the option checked. Sorry if this is not what you are looking for, it just seems really similar. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: < mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
