I have several check box in a form I just wanna way to check whether they are checked or not .
If checked i need to store their id in the database(that i can do it ) . But my question is how to determine whether are checked or not instead of checking for each check box on at a time . I need to check whether its checked or not inside a servlet.
This is my code

But in my code I have several check boxes . I need to hardcode that for every check box . Is there way so that i put it in a loop and check for all check boxes ?
To be simple, you can use the name
attribute to get the data since you are using different name for each checkbox.
In Servlet :
String[] s1_t1_view = request.getParameterValues("s1_t1_view");
String[] s1_t1_add = request.getParameterValues("s1_t1_add");
If you want to use group of checkbox to give the user a choice between multiple values, you will need to iterate over the group in the servlet. You can use this :
In HTML : (same name = same group)
<input type = "checkbox" name = "s1_t1" value = "s1_t2_view" >View <br>
<input type = "checkbox" name = "s1_t1" value = "s1_t2_add" >Add <br>
<input type = "checkbox" name = "s1_t1" value = "s1_t2_edit" >Edit <br>
<input type = "checkbox" name = "s1_t1" value = "s1_t2_delete" >Delete<br>
In Servlet :
String[] results = request.getParameterValues("s1_t1");
for (int i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
System.out.println(results[i]);
}
