It sounds like you are getting close to what I'm using. I'm only
iterating over the String[] that contains all the possible values.
Values in the other String[] that match the array you are iterating
over will cause the checkboxes to be set to checked (but you don't need
to iterate over this second String[]). Also make sure the array you are
iterating over always contains all of the possible attributes, either by
saving it in session scope or repopulating it each time in request scope
(i.e., don't set it to null in reset()). In the ActionForm, I have:
private String[] findAssets = null;
private String[] selectedAssets = null;
/**
* Get
*/
public String[] getFindAssets() {
return (this.findAssets);
}
/**
* Set
*
* @param
*/
public void setFindAssets(String[] findAssets) {
this.findAssets = findAssets;
}
/**
* Get
*/
public String[] getSelectedAssets() {
return (this.selectedAssets);
}
/**
* Set
*
* @param
*/
public void setSelectedAssets(String[] selectedAssets) {
this.selectedAssets = selectedAssets;
}
