David-

Since I've only one checkbox, I think that's way overkill...regardless, I should take back my prior comment about the documentation for struts:

http://struts.apache.org/1.x/struts-taglib/tlddoc/index.html has a WARNING about how to make struts have the ability to detect unchecked checkboxes. It's amazing how RTFM results in user education...

Incidentally, I believe this is basically the same as what Kalpesh suggests in the follow up email...

I've got an html:checkbox in a form and the property is mapped/spelled correctly to the field/method in the bean. The behavior I am seeing is that the bean property (a boolean) is not being set based on the state of the checkbox.

I fired up Ethereal and following the TCP stream from the POST, I can see the name of the property being passed (<property name>=on) as a parameter on the request if the checkbox is checked, but if it is not checked, the parameter doesn't show up at all on the request (I'd expected <property name>=off) but this might be the reason that Struts can't set the property if it doesn't know the value....

Obviously, I can issue a request.getParameter(<property name>) and if it returns null, set the property on the bean myself, but I had hoped Struts would do this for me...

Anyone run into this before or have any suggestions?  Thanks.

Try using multibox.  I think it will do what you need.
