how to request a boolean value from a form in servlet?

[Shailesh Chandra]

Request the boolean variable as usual then convert same to boolean.

  
String strVariable = request.getParameter("param1");
 
boolean bVariable = (new Boolean(strVariable)).booleanValue();
 

thanks..

You can use Shailesh's with changing value of param1 to "true" or "false"
before submitting the form,or use alternate as

<input type=checkbox name=param1> // This will be placed in Form

and in Servlet chek it as

boolean b=false;

if(request.getParameter("param1")!=null)
b=true;

NOTE:- if checkbox is not selected then request.getParameter("param1") will return null

Hope This Helps

Praful,
Thanks for clearing the issue.

It's usually cleaner to use "true".equals( request.getParameter("param1") ), it manages null values for you.
