Subject: Checkbox and Map ActionForm
> 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?
