Still no joy using String instead of Boolean. I must be doing something wrong. What are common mistakes related to checkboxes?

I'm using an Action to load the form and attempt to set the checkbox field. No matter what I do I cannot get the checkbox state to change from its default, whether that be true, false or no value (shows false). I've Google'ed, searched the list archive and various FAQ's to no avail. In my ValidatorForm bean: (This particular field is not validated) private boolean shutoff; public boolean getShutoff () { return shutoff; } public void setShutoff (boolean shutoff) { this.shutoff = shutoff; } public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request) { this.shutoff = boolean.FALSE; } In my Action: if (checkTheBox.equals("yes")) { //config. option, confirmed working regForm.setShutoff(true); } [Then it immediately forwards to the form JSP.] I also tried setting the value of the checkbox via another property in the form bean. I appreciate any corrections or suggestions.
