Yes, setFoo is only called if the checkbox is checked. However, Struts 2 does have a checkbox interceptor: https://struts.apache.org/core-developers/checkbox-interceptor.html
This interceptor defaults checkbox Boolean's to False if the box is not checked. This is part of the default interceptor stack.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Is that how Struts2 is expected to work? Meaning setFoo would not be called if non of the Foo checkboxes are selected? I know that is how Struts1 worked.
