Only "successful" form elements will be present in the request.  Checkboxes
that are not checked are not successful form elements.  Use the "reset"
method in your form bean to "uncheck" all of the boxes, and then Struts will
handle calling the 'set' method for only those boxes that the user has
checked.

Boy, it's fun watching other people run into the exact same problems I did,
all those months ago... ;)
