How is the TestForm(boolean) constructor being invoked? The Struts framework will simply invoke the default constructor.
How are you "setting the selected string array in Action class"? Are you creating this form bean in the Action class then setting the array? If so, are you persisting this form bean to some scope (request/session/application)? If you don't and if the Struts framework doesn't find one in some scope it'll simply create one -- by calling the default constructor.

I want a few values to be preselected when I load the form. If I initialize my selected string array in default constructor of the form then everything works properly and I can see those checkboxes as selected when the form loads. On the other hand if the selected string array is populated in an overloaded constructor then no checkbox is selected ?????? Even setting the selected string array in Action class doesn't help :-( Anyone........ where am I going wrong ? ______________________________________ The form has : private String[] selectedItems; private String[] items; public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) { selectedItems = new String[0]; } public TestForm(boolean flag) { if(flag) { selectedItems = new String[1]; selectedItems[0] = "FedEx"; items = new String[3]; items[0] = "FedEx"; items[1] = "UPS"; items[2] = "Airborne"; } } and the corresponding getter ad setter methods. the jsp has the following code : <logic:iterate id="item" name="f" property="items"> <html:multibox property="selectedItems"> <bean:write name="item"/> </html:multibox> <bean:write name="item"/> </logic:iterate> Thanks, Sanjana -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:struts-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
