Hello,

I am new to Struts so I apologize if this problem has
a simple answer but I couldn't find one in the
archive.

Let's say I have a bean that contains several
attributes, one of which is a Vector of Strings. This
Vector has been populated from a database table and I
want to present a checkbox for each item in the
Vector. On the HTML form the user will select the
items by checking the boxes they want. I want to do
some processing based on what checkbox items they
selected. 

Now my question: How do I get Struts to map the
selected checkboxes into the Vector of my bean? As I
understand it, Struts will use the get/set methods on
the bean to retrieve/populate the bean from the form.
But in this case I don't want to "set" the Vector, I
want to "add" to the Vector for each selected
checkbox.

Each of my checkboxes will, of course, have a separate
name but I definitely don't want to have a separate
attribute in my bean for each because this is
essentially look-up data that my end-user can modify
at will. We certainly can't be adding attributes to
our Java classes everytime the user adds a new entry
to the database.

I would assume that this is a common problem that
others have had. How have you solved it?

Aidan
