checkboxes + multipage forms

[Yuriy Zilbergleyt]

Hi,

I'm just starting learning struts, and one thing confuses me. The recommended way to allow the "unchecking" of a checkbox is to implement the reset() method, right? But what if the ActionForm is distributed across multiple pages? If the reset() method is implemented, should each page have an <html:hidden> entry for each field that's populated in other pages?

Thank you,
Yuriy

Hi,
you can use something like this in your reset method:

if (getPage() == 1) {
  checkbox = false; 
}

So the reset method will reset you checkbox only on page 1, actually on the page, where your html:checkbox is placed. Dont forget to place a

<html:hidden property="page" value="1" />

on your page. Certainly, you can change the page number as you will.
I recommend you to check out struts wizard functionality and maybe you can have a look in the source codes aswell.
