Re: wizard form and checkboxes that won't turn off

[James Mitchell]

The problem is that the browser submits a value of "on", when you check a 
checkbox and submit the form.  However, if you uncheck the checkbox and 
submit the form, the browser does _not_ submit "off" or "false" or anything. 
So, with your form sitting in session, how will it know that you want it 
"off"?

Here's how:  you need to implement reset() method on your form.  In that 
method you need to set the field that is backing the checkbox to "false" or 
"off".  When Struts processes the request, it will call reset, then 
repopulate based on request....effectively giving the _appearance_ that the 
browser sent "off".

Subject: wizard form and checkboxes that won't turn off

Could somebody please refer me to a solution to this?
I have a form bean (session-scoped) that is displayed over 3 pages.  There
are "back" and "next" buttons.  Once a checkbox is selected and the user has
moved to another page, it can't be cleared again.  I have read that this is
because the checkbox item is now in the session and simply unchecking it
does not remove it from the session.  What I haven't found is a solution or
workaround.
I am using struts 1.1.
Thanks very much in advance,
J
