    DisplayLogTimeForm dltf =(DisplayLogTimeForm)getCurrentRowObject();
    String ret="";

    String status= dltf.getStatus();
    String date= dltf.getSET_DATE();
    //System.out.println("Decorator..." + date);
    if(status.equals("notpresent"))
    {

        System.out.println("Decorator..." + date);
        ret="<input type='checkbox' size='10' id = 'statusp"+i+"' name = 'statusp' property = 'status' value='"+date+"' onclick='changeCounter(this.id);' /><input type='hidden' name='checkedBox' value='"+i+"' />";
        i++;

        System.out.println("id.." + ret);
        System.out.println("id.." + i);
        return ret;
    }

ApproveActionForm
==================
private int chk[];
/**
* @return the chk
*/
public int[] getChk() {
return chk;
}
/**
* @param chk the chk to set
*/
public void setChk(int[] chk) {
this.chk = chk;
}



ApproveAction.java
==================

public ActionForward approveByRoles(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest  request,HttpServletResponse response) throws STException 
{
ApproveActionForm aprForm=(ApproveActionForm)form;
if(aprForm.getChk()!=null)
{  
int chks[] = aprForm.getChk();
int updateFormNo = 0;
for(int i=0;i<chks.length;i++)
{   
updateFormNo = chks[i];
System.out.println("Updated Form Number is = "+ updateFormNo);
}   
}
}
