checkboxes not handled by SlingPostServlet
------------------------------------------

                 Key: SLING-649
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-649
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Servlets Post
         Environment: Ubuntu AMD64 FF3
            Reporter: Renaud Richardet
            Priority: Minor


I am trying to use checkboxes with the SlingPostServlet, as described in 
http://incubator.apache.org/sling/site/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet.html
<form method="POST" action="/content/page/first">
    <input type="text" name="width" />
    <input type="hidden" name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" value="Long" />
    <input type="checkbox" name="checked" />
    <input type="hidden" name="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" value="Boolean" />
   ...
    <input type="Submit" />
</form>

All elements work fine, excepte the checkbox: the "checked" node property is 
always set to false in JCR after a POST. Can anyone confirm?

I guess it's because the POST request parameters are:
 width 1234
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Long
 checked on
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Boolean
So, the passed checkbox parameter is "on" instead of "true" 

I guess I would have to modify SlingPropertyValueHandler.setPropertyAsIs() to 
handle "on" values as "true" if @TypeHint is Boolean. Similar to how dates 
values are handled if @TypeHint = date.
If it's the right way to go, I will create a patch.
