Thanks for any help... Here's what the html page output looks like:
Product Roles ------------- SomeProduct [] INTERNALAUTHOR []EXTERNALAUTHOR SomeProduct2 [] INTERNALAUTHOR []EXTERNALAUTHOR SomeProduct3 [] INTERNALAUTHOR []EXTERNALAUTHOR Backing this output is an ActionForm with the property: HashMap productRolesMap; //there is also a Map with this same name put into //request scope The ActionForm map has the keys set to the "productId" (number as a String) and the value is a String[]. When the form submits I just want to have the form's productRolesMap set with the String[] of the selected roles. (Since these aren't boolean properties, all I need is the values of the selected items). Below is the code I was trying to use and it's working fine for displaying the intial set of information (correct items are checked and unchecked). The problem is when it submits, the String[] arrays in the Map are not being updated at all. The setter for the productRolesMap is called, but apparently the new values selected are not being reflected in this Map. The code I'm working with: <c:forEach var="productMapItem" items="${productRolesMap}" varStatus="pStatus"> <b>${productMapItem.key.productName}</b> <div style="padding-left:15px;"> <c:forEach var="role" items="${productMapItem.value}"> <html:multibox name="authenticateForm" property="productRolesMap.${productMapItem.key.productId}"> ${role} </html:multibox> ${role} </c:forEach> </div> <br/><br/> </c:forEach> A snippet of the resulting html looks like: <input type="checkbox" name="productRolesMap.2" value="INTERNALAUTHOR"> INTERNALAUTHOR <input type="checkbox" name="productRolesMap.2" value="EXTERNALAUTHOR" checked="checked"> EXTERNALAUTHOR I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm doing wrong.
