Thank you, everyone, for your help!!! -----Original Message----- From: Nuwan Chandrasoma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 9:16 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [S2] Pre-populating Checkboxes Hi, I have done it like this. // code in my action private String[] skill; public String[] getSkill() { return skill; } public void setSkill(String[] skill) { this.skill = skill; } public void prepare() throws Exception { skills = new ArrayList(); skills.add("Java"); skills.add("C#"); skills.add("Spring"); skills.add("Struts 2"); skill = new String [2]; skill[0] = "Java"; skill[1] = "Spring"; } //jsp <s:checkboxlist name="skill" list="skills"/> Java and Spring check boxes will be selected.
