I am creating check boxes in a JSP. I am showing the HTML code to make it simple to illustrate my question.
code: ________________________________________ <H2>Check As Many As You Wish</H2> <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="emailAddress" VALUE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">John Doe</INPUT> <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="emailAddress" VALUE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Jane Doe</INPUT> // followed by tens of thousands of <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="emailAddress" .......> tags ________________________________________ I have to get all the "e-mail addresses" of those who are selected (if a client puts a check mark in the check box). Therefore, I cannot predict ahead of time how many e-mail addresses will be read by my web application (servlet) after the form is submitted. Yes, I am going to have String(s) - e-mail address(es). String [] emailBoxes = request.getParameterValues("emailAddress"); My questions is: Because I may have tens of thousands of String(s) and the actual numbers of those String(s) cannot be predicted (we do not know how many will be selected by a certain client), should I still use an "Array"? What is proper to use in my case; ArrayList or something else? Is this Java statement still a proper one? String [] emailBoxes = getParameterValues("emailAddress"); _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
