Do you really have to go through all that? Why not just get rid of the 'value' attribute in the checkbox tag? It seems completely unnecessary. Just send a boolean to the setIsBillable() method and you should be set.

Insideform this property will definitely of boolean data type. now you will assign the value true or false in your frorm class by checking against the value that has been assigned to this variable "isBillable". i.e public void setIsBillable(String billable) { if(billable.equals("chkVal")==true) { isBillable=true;// else assign to false which is anyway done in default } } i hope this will help.
