I'm sure this has been asked before but I haven't had any luck finding
the answer. I'm having trouble getting the checkbox to work.
My web application uses a database and I have screens that add and edit
records. One of the fields is a boolean called isPermanent. So my
ActionForm has a boolean field called isPermanent.
public class DataSetForm extends ActionForm {
private boolean isPermanent;
public setIsPermanent(boolean b) {
isPermanent = b;
}
public getIsPermanent() {
return isPermanent;
}
etc.
In my addRecord.jsp I've got my form setup and it includes this:
<html:checkbox property="isPermanent"/>
And my Action has this:
PreparedStatement stmt = connection.prepareStatement("insert into blah
blah isPermanent=?");
stmt.setBoolean(1, form.getIsPermanent());
stmt.execute();
All this works great. My question is with the editRecord.jsp. I'm
pulling the record out of the data based on the key field, but when I
display the checkbox how to if set it to checked based on the value in
the data table?
Right now I'm doing something like this (greatly abbreviated)
<%
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select etc");
if(rs.next()) {
boolean isPermanent = rs.getBoolean("isPermanent");
}
%>
Then further down I do this
<%
if(isPermanent) {
%>
<input type="checkbox" name="isPermanent" checked>
<%
}
else {
%>
<input type="checkbox" name="isPermanent">
<%
}
%>
When I first started working with the checkbox I expected it to have a
value= option the way the other components do, but it doesn't appear to
work the way the other components work. Or am I missing something?
Thanks
