The checkbox is a bit tricky. It can be bound to either a String, Boolean
or boolean. Obviously if you bind it to a boolean, we alway have a value
(true or false) and therefore the default value is never used. For both a
String or Boolean if you are binding to a property with a null value the
default value should be picked up correctly. Here is a small sample
(binding directly to a pageflow) that works as expected.
Page Flow:
package pf;
import org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.Forward;
import org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.PageFlowController;
import org.apache.beehive.netui.pageflow.annotations.Jpf;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;
@Jpf.Controller()
public class PfController extends PageFlowController {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -202669425L;
private boolean _checkOne;
private String _checkTwo;
private Boolean _checkThree;
public boolean getCheckOne()
{
return _checkOne;
}
public void setCheckOne(boolean value) {
_checkOne = value;
}
public String getCheckTwo()
{
return _checkTwo;
}
public void setCheckTwo(String value) {
_checkTwo = value;
}
public Boolean getCheckThree()
{
return _checkThree;
}
public void setCheckThree(Boolean value)
{
_checkThree = value;
}
@Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "index", path = "index.jsp")
})
protected Forward begin() {
return new Forward("index");
}
}
