Thank you for the response. I had looked at the example, but it really appears to only push the checkbox results to the action. I am not sure that it would repopulate the checkbox with the values.
I do not believe that checkbox list is going to work for me as it does not give me control on where to put the checkboxes. I need one in each row. It appears that my understanding of how the checkbox works is not correct. I am expecting that the checkbox control will call the getSelectedContracts() method and see if any of these values in the array it returns matches the value specified in the fieldValue attribute specified in the checkbox tag. If there is a match then check the box, if not don't check it. However, all of my checkboxes are always being selected no matter what. I am also expecting that when submitting the form, setSelectedContracts() will be called with an array of the values that were selected. This does appear to be working with one caveat. If nothing is selected then I get the error: Invalid field value for field "selectedContracts". This obviously does not work the way I thought and I was hoping someone could maybe explain how it does work as I am really struggling on gaining an understanding of this tag and its usage.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have table which displays several rows. In the first column of each row, I have a check box to select that row. I am keeping track of user selections so when they return to the page, the checkboxes are prepopulated with their previous selections. My Action contains the following: public Long[] getSelectedContracts() { return setSelectedContracts.toArray(new Long[0]); } // end getSelectedContracts /** * This setter takes the provided String[] of selected contract ids. */ public void setSelectedContracts(Long[] palngSelectedContracts) { setSelectedContracts.addAll(Arrays.asList(palngSelectedContracts)); } // end setSelectedContracts My JSP contains the following: <s:checkbox name="selectedContracts" fieldValue="${contract.npcContractId}"/> ----------------------------------------- ***Note:The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
