Re: Checkbox

You should use a java.lang.String or java.lang.String[] property if you want
to have 'abc' submitted when checkbox 'chk' is checked.

If you want 'true' to be sent when 'chk' is checked, then change 'abc' to
'true'.

Take a look at this example for additional guidance

<%-- FILE checkForm.jsp --%>
<%@ taglib prefix="html" uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" %>

<html:html>
<body>
<h1>checkForm</h1>
<html:form action="/check.do">

<p>Do you like soda?</p>
<html:checkbox property="likesSoda" value="true">Yes</html:checkbox><br>

<p>If you like soda (or were forced to drink one) what would you drink?</p>

<html:checkbox property="sodas" value="coke">Coke</html:checkbox><br>
<html:checkbox property="sodas" value="pepsi">Pepsi</html:checkbox><br>
<html:checkbox property="sodas" value="7-up">7-up</html:checkbox><br>
<html:submit value="Submit" />

</html:form>
</body>
</html:html>
<%-- END FILE checkForm.jsp --%>

<%-- FILE check.jsp --%>
<%@ page import="java.util.*" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="logic" uri="/WEB-INF/struts-logic.tld" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="bean" uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" %>

<html>
<body>
<h1>check</h1>

<bean:define id="likesSoda" name="SodaForm" property="likesSoda" />
<p>Likes soda?: <bean:write name="likesSoda" /></p>

<p>Preferred sodas:</p>
<bean:define id="sodas" name="SodaForm" property="sodas" />
<logic:iterate id="soda" name="sodas">
  <bean:write name="soda" /><br>
</logic:iterate>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
<%-- END FILE check.jsp --%>

Put these in your struts-config.xml  (in the appropriate sections).
    <form-bean name="SodaForm"
               type="org.apache.struts.action.DynaActionForm">
      <form-property name="likesSoda" type="java.lang.Boolean"
initial="false"/>
      <form-property name="sodas" type="java.lang.String[]" />
    </form-bean>

    <action path="/checkForm" forward="/checkForm.jsp" />

    <action path="/check"
            name="SodaForm"
            scope="request"
            forward="/check.jsp" />
