Also, and just an FYI, the HTML you've included is invalid. INPUT elements are not allowed to have text inside of them. Instead, put your INPUT element inside a LABEL:
<LABEL><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="emailAddress" VALUE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />John Doe</LABEL>
See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-LABEL for more information on using the LABEL element.

I am creating check boxes in a JSP. I am showing the HTML code to make it simple to illustrate my question.
code: ________________________________________
<H2>Check As Many As You Wish</H2>
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="emailAddress"
VALUE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">John Doe</INPUT>
<INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="emailAddress"
VALUE="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">Jane Doe</INPUT>
// followed by tens of thousands of <INPUT
TYPE="checkbox" NAME="emailAddress" .......> tags ________________________________________
I have to get all the "e-mail addresses" of those who are selected (if a client puts a check mark in the check box). Therefore, I cannot predict ahead of time how many e-mail addresses will be read by my web application (servlet) after the form is submitted.
Yes, I am going to have String(s) - e-mail address(es).
String [] emailBoxes =
request.getParameterValues("emailAddress");
My questions is:
Because I may have tens of thousands of String(s) and the actual numbers of those String(s) cannot be predicted (we do not know how many will be selected by a certain client), should I still use an "Array"? What is proper to use in my case; ArrayList or something else? Is this Java statement still a proper one?
String [] emailBoxes = getParameterValues("emailAddress");
