Try BeanFirstPopulationStrategy instead of the default, request first. I
struggled with the checkboxes and radio button values a while ago, we switched
to bean first which makes sense if you are using preactions to pull data.
Since we made that switch stripes just works more like I'd expect. Some will
argue bean first should be default, especially now since preactions are widely
encouraged as a best practice.
Can someone clear up why request first is the default?

Subject: [Stripes-users] srtripes:checkbox checked attribute
Hi,
Can someone give me a quick explanation on the intended usage pattern for the
stripes:checkbox checked attribute.
I feel like I'm fighting stripes somewhat when I use it so I might be missing
something.
I'm generating a list of checkboxes to manage a many to many relationship in my
db. I use the checked attribute to pre-check the checkboxes indicating the
current relationships when the page first loads. A preaction rounds up the
necessary data.
<table class="sortableResults">
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Enabled</th>
</tr>
<c:forEach var="role" items="${actionBean.allRoles}">
<tr>
<td><stripes:checkbox name="roleIds" value="${role}"
checked="${actionBean.systemReport.roles}"/></td>
<td>${role.name<http://role.name>}</td>
<td>${role.enabled}</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
This works fine, but if my action bean (to which this form submits) has a
getter for "roleIds" the checked attribute is ignored (as described in the
pre-population priority rules).
Problem:
1) I don't want to write code in my action bean to copy
${actionBean.systemReport.roles} into my roleIds array so I don't have a
getter for roleIds. This makes the checked attribute work.
2) Without the getter present. When no checkboxes are checked, stripes nulls
out the roleIds field in my action bean using the setter. By default, I
initialize it to an empty array. I want to work with the empty array and not a
null array if no checkboxes are checked.
I can obviously work-around either of these issues but the workarounds are
kludgy. I thought there might be something fundamentally wrong with the
approach I'm taking here..
