Is the checkbox inside a WOConditional? Sometimes that can mess up their behaviour.

Hmm... interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. But I don't think that's it.

Check and see what is going back to the server in terms of form values when you submit the form. The fix, IIRC, is to put a dummy hidden field in the form so that WO processes takeValues.

The strange thing is that in a dummy test app I've just made, it too only has checkboxes in the form but even if I make no changes to the form the child component still has its setter methods called during the takeValuesFromRequest phase. But in my app-proper it's being skipped.

I've tried putting in the hidden field, but that didn't help - so something else is skewed :-/

I'll try turning on DebugGroupComponents, DebugGroupRequestHandling...

Any other suggestions?

What do you see for form values?

{0.7.3.0.0.1.9 = ("2007-07-31 02:32:18 Etc/GMT"); 0.7.3.0.0.1.13 = ("Continue"); 0.7.3.0.0.1.5.0.1.0.0.0.23.1.0.0.1.0.3.1 = ("0.7.3.0.0.1.5.0.1.0.0.0.23.1.0.0.1.0.3.1"); }

The first is a hidden field string, second is the button, the last is the value of the single checkbox (if ticked) otherwise if not ticked it's not included.

Forget to call super.takeValues someplace?

Not that I can see. But I might need to strip things (in terms of component hierarchy to see what's happening).

okay this is a little weird, from my understanding of WO...

I have a page with a form and in the form is a repetition of a sub-component which has a checkbox and associated logic with that checkbox.

So something like this:
<page>
    <webobject name="Form">
        <webobject name="ListItem"/> <!-- has a checkbox -->
    </webobject>
</page>

However, when ticking or unticking the checkbox in any of the ListItem components (where I've bound checked = isSelected) I'm finding that setIsSelected is not being fired in the subcomponent.

Any ideas?
