I read the thread again and still don't quite understand. I thought i understod models but maybe i don't i am going to read the wiki on that now. but in between this is what i think all the tread is saying tell me if i'm wrong or not.
its saying that you create a custom model that takes as an argument in the constructor the object/model that you want to tie to a check box. this model is used as the model that we pass to our check box component. the setObject method gets called at the push of the submit button and sets that object/model as part of the collection if it is selected. is this correct? -B igor.vaynberg wrote: > > if you dont grasp the concepts perhaps you should read the wiki page on > models > > the concept is: > > since the checkbox works by setting/clearing a boolean the model > translates > a set boolean->insert into collection and clear boolean->remove from > collection. > > there is explanation there, try to read that too, not just look at the > code. > > -igor > > > On 3/26/07, GS-ikiini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> I don't quite grasp the concepts used in that tread. from what i >> understand i >> should create a separate model that takes the model that has to get >> set(the >> model that is selected via checkbox) in the object i'm making, and places >> it >> in a collection if it is selected.
