I appreciate the explanation on how it's all supposed to work, but given my limited experience with struts 2 and this type of framework as a whole, I am not yet proficient enough to figure out where things are being generated. I use log4j to log a number of events in my code, but I don't even know how to display this type of request object logging you're presenting. I need examples to run with and understand how things work; going through this was helpful to get a big view, and I don't mean to be rude, but it still doesn't help me read the checkbox value.
Is there a simple example I can follow? That's the best way I learn. Thanks, Session > Dale Newfield wrote: >> OK--now this request goes to your server. Hopefully eventually to >> struts.
