checkbox member of form Bean doesn't pass/get value from my DispatchAction.

[di...@jpmorgan.com]

I have problem with checkbox property not communicating with my Action.
I have String property with "Y"/"N" in FormBean populated from DAO , I 
convert it to "yes"/"no" before sending it to form and I do conversion 
back from "yes"/"no" to "Y"/"N" after I receive from form and send it to 
DAO.
What is missing here ?
Pls. Help  !!



In my FormBean it is String element
as under 

public class InstrumentForm extends ActionForm {
....
private String lockedFlag;
....
}



My jsp lines for checkbox is as follows:



<td class="tdLabel"><fmt:message key="label.lockedFlag"/>:</td>
                <td><html:checkbox property="lockedFlag" 
value="${lockedFlag}"/></td>





As my dao returns "Y" or "N"

I do following conversion when I send data to form.


    public ActionForward setUpForInsertOrUpdate(ActionMapping mapping, 
ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) 
throws Exception {
 
        InstrumentForm instForm = (InstrumentForm)form;

            if (instrument.getLockedFlag().equalsIgnoreCase("Y"))
            {
                instrument.setLockedFlag("yes");
            }
            else
            {
                instrument.setLockedFlag("no");
            }
            BeanUtils.copyProperties(instForm, instrument);
        }
        prep(request,initMap);
        return mapping.findForward(Constants.SUCCESS);
}


On its way back from form I do following conversion

 public ActionForward insertOrUpdate(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm 
form, HttpServletRequest request,               HttpServletResponse 
response) throws Exception 
{
        InstrumentForm instForm = (InstrumentForm)form;
        if (instForm.getLockedFlag().equalsIgnoreCase("yes"))
        {
                instForm.setLockedFlag("Y");
        }
        else
        {
                instForm.setLockedFlag("N");
        }
        instService.updateInstrument(instrument);
}

Browsers only transmit values when the checkbox is "checked" - in the reset
method of your ActionForm set the "lockedFlag" to the false value.
