I am trying to bind the input type checkbox using spring form controller,But i failed .
Here i am posting Controller,bean and jsp example,One more thing is i can't use .
Below is the code:
Controller:
package com.test.web;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.SimpleFormController;
import com.vaannila.domain.User;
import com.vaannila.service.UserService;
@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
public class UserController extends SimpleFormController {
private UserService userService;
public UserController() {
setCommandClass(User.class);
setCommandName("user");
}
public void setUserService(UserService userService) {
this.userService = userService;
}
@Override
protected ModelAndView onSubmit(Object command) throws Exception {
User user = (User) command;
user.setCommunity(user.getCommunity());
userService.add(user);
return new ModelAndView("userForm","user",user);
}
}
jsp:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form"%>

}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form:form method="POST" commandName="user" name="testForm" action="./userRegistration.htm">

label="Would you like to join our mailinglist?" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><input type="submit" onclick="submitForm();"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form:form>
</body>
</html>
Java beans:
package com.test.domain;
public class User {
private String name;
private String password;
private String gender;
private String country;
private String aboutYou;
private String[] community;
private Boolean mailingList;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
public String getGender() {
return gender;
}
public void setGender(String gender) {
this.gender = gender;
}
public String getCountry() {
return country;
}
public void setCountry(String country) {
this.country = country;
}
public String getAboutYou() {
return aboutYou;
}
public void setAboutYou(String aboutYou) {
this.aboutYou = aboutYou;
}
public String[] getCommunity() {
return community;
}
public void setCommunity(String[] community) {
this.community = community;
}
public Boolean getMailingList() {
return mailingList;
}
public void setMailingList(Boolean mailingList) {
this.mailingList = mailingList;
}
}
I tried different ways,but no luck.Any hints please.
the browser will not send the field in the request if the checkbox isn't checked. the value will either be "true" or not sent. you will never get a "false" value.
add a hidden field with _name for every checkbox
EX:
<input type="checkbox" name="community" value="Hibernate"/>
<input type="hidden" name="_community" value="on"/>
Then, spring will take care of it.
