Question

I have a problem with saving checkbox value into some bean. With other stuff like text etc all is ok. Also I don’t have any problems if I save checkbox value to MyAction class.
Problem only appears when I try to do so with some bean in my class.

example jsp:

<s:form>
<s:checkbox name="myBean.flag"/>
<s:submit/>
</s:form>

======

example java code:

public class MyAction extends Action {
private MyBean myBean;

public MyBean getMyBean(){
     if(myBean == null){myBean = new MyBean();}return myBean;}
}

public void setMyBean(MyBean myBean){this.myBean = myBean;}

}

…

public class MyBean {
private boolean flag;

public MyBean isFlag(){return flag;}

public void setFlag(boolean flag){this.flag = flag;}
}

======

P.S. Seems that I have more less the same problem as this guy have:

Answer 1

correct aFlag to flag and add value of the checkbox in:

<s:checkbox name="myBean.aFlag"/>

to:

<s:checkbox name="flag" value="flag" label="My CheckBox"/>

But in your MyAction class code just edit:

boolean flag;

public boolean isFlag() {
     if(myBean == null) {
         myBean = new MyBean();
     } 
     return myBean.getFlag();
}

public void setFlag(boolean flag) {
      this.myBean.setFlag(flag); 
      this.flag = flag;
}
